Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FREDDIE'S DREAM) (5-2) - Very consistent veteran just missed last out in his fifth straight quality start at this distance. Speed/stalker has gone has gone 2-3-0 during that streak and all came following a trainer change to Jonathan Wong. I give this 8yo a small edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Indygo Shiner) (7-2) - He was an easy four length wire-to-wire winner here at this distance for a $3,200 price tag April 20. Claimed hat afternoon by Angelo Tekos, he brings him back quickly and this veteran is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Sheila's Footsteps) (2-1) - English import is the morning line favorite at odds of 2-1. Strong finisher drops after a pair of solid efforts facing tougher and he should receive a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
4th pick: #1 (Special Season) (8-1) - Longshot made up a bit of ground when finishing two lengths behind 'Sheila's Footsteps' here April 12. It was a solid effort and the last time he raced at this $4,000 claiming price, he won here Sept. 9. A late threat at a square price.
