Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (WOODSTOCK MEMORY) (5-2) - Very sharp in his last four starts, he rallied to finish 2nd at this level going a bit longer April 29 in his first facing winners. 4yo has the rail, a fast work May 21, and a ground saving post. He gets a small edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Monterey Shale) (2-1) - Cal bred looked good breaking his maiden going seven furlongs for a $20,000 claiming price May 14. It was his second following a claim by Gary Stute, and he immediately tried him on the grass May 25 in his first facing winners. Racing for twice this tag, he was only beaten 2.5 lengths. Back on the dirt and down in price, he's a very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Mr Larson) (5-1) - Plodding type drops down to a new low following a distant 3rd place finish at this trip for an $18,000 claiming price. He needs a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
