Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PAPA DE GATTO) (2-1) - Very lightly-raced 5-year-old has a fine work line showing at Santa Anita for his first start since Nov. 6. Speedy sort has the rail, drops to a new low, and his two best races have been local.

2nd pick: #6 (Big Energy) (4-1) - Grey gelding is racing fresh off a Jesus Nunez claim (18%). Four-year-old finished second here for a $5,000 tag the day he was claimed (May 28). More than capable and he has a big recency edge on 'Papa de Gatto'.

3rd pick: #4 (Not Chopped Liver) (5-2) - He raced evenly when finishing fourth for a $20K price tag going a mile May 28 at Santa Anita. It was his first facing winner following a maiden win sprinting on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields April 6. Working fast locally and 3-year-old must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #9 (Fans On the Run) (6-1) - Owner/trainer Bob Lucas has freshened this one up since April 21. He's finished second in two of four this year and is a late threat in this spot.
