Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (BELL RINGER) (7-2) - A $105K colt by 'Hard Spun', he's cutting back in distance and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. From a winning barn (Fred Villafranco), he brings him back from a mile contest 13 days ago and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #11 (Justins Omen) (4-1) - Oklahoma bred is another cutting back in distance and dropping down. Blinkers are added and this home bred draws a fine outside post. In the mix.
3rd pick: #8 (Abstract Player) (5-1) - 4yo is yet another shortening up after finishing second and third in a pair going a mile at today's $7,500 claiming price. This is his 18th attempt, but he fits and has positive off track experience as that may be the case today.
4th pick: #9 (Sournois) (6-1) - Gelding has early speed but has weakened late in his last pair going a mile. He was right behind 'Abstract Playe' in both of those and he's capable of getting a share.
5th pick: #12 (Rapid Impulse) (15-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since April 22. state bred has some early speed and has finished second in three of his last four facing fellow Oklahoma foals. He has a solid work pattern on view and may be competitive at a very big price if ready.
