Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FACE OF VICTORY) (8-5) - Speedy colt is racing third back following an eight month layoff and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He's been pretty tough in his last pair and his trainer (Mike Puype) has won with 8-of-27 maidens (30%) taking this particular drop.
2nd pick: #5 (Red Carpet Cat) (4-1) - NEW gelding has been freshened up for the past two months. He's raced evenly in both starts facing a bit tougher and last out was bet down to 9-5 favoritism. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #6 (Quiet Dude) (2-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's racing first off a claim. Strong finisher has been competitive in five straight and the last pair of those have been here at this tricky seven furlong trip. Must be left in the win mix.
