Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PRINCE VALIANT) (5-2) - He's dropping back down after defeating four rivals here at this distance May 6 facing high-level starter-allowance foes. Speed/stalker has bee sharp in four of his last five and gets a slight edge in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #1 (Bandido Too) (10-1) - Longshot races second off a Steve Knapp claim. Gelding raced evenly on the grass when facing tougher May 7 in his first for the new barn. He's worked a bullet half-mile since (May 18) and is dropping in class, switching back to the dirt, and dropping back down to the claimed level. Can factor from off the pace at a big price.
3rd pick: #6 (Adair) (2-1) - The morning line favorite drops back down after tiring facing tougher at Los Alamitos April 22. He had won two in a row here prior to that and is an obvious win threat at a short price.
4th pick: #3 (BrotherSoldier) (8-1) - Speed/stalker set a quick pace and held to finish second here at this level at odds of 25-1 May 13. Nice effort was his best overall since coming off a 9.5 month layoff in late January.
