Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (READYHEARDANDSOUL) (5-2) - Gelding has finished 2nd in two of his last three here racing at this level. Stalker has enough positional speed to stay within range and should receive a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
2nd pick: #1 (Hope Messenger) (4-1) - Grey gelding is one of two entered by trainer Patty Farro, and the pair race uncoupled. One run type is dropping back down in class after an even effort here in a first-level allowance for fellow Pa-breds. He should be finishing fast in this contest.
3rd pick: #3 (Joker Man) (7-2) - Very lightly raced, colt by 'Grand Slam' has been on the sidelines since early December. He's making his local debut after going 7-2-1-0 at Penn National and does so for a new trainer 'Lupe' Preciado. 4yo worked well here May 10 and has early speed if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Hot Feet) (6-1) - The second of the Farro pair, he's broken poorly in both starts since returning from almost a four-month layoff April 30. He needs both an alert beginning and some pace help for anything more than a minor award.
