Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CAPALL) (9-2) - He's dropping into a claimer in his third start back following a seven week freshening. Stalker earned a career best figure at this distance facing tougher May 19, and he runs today with blinkers on for a 'hot' barn (Peter Miller).

2nd pick: #1 (Impression) (3-1) - He's gone 7-0-4-3 on the grass and is 3-0-2-1 here on this often tricky 6.5-furlong 'down the hill' turf course. The level is fine, he draws a ground saving post, and 5yo is a major factor today.

3rd pick: #2 (Alfareed) (8-1) - Well bred colt cost $710,000 and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He's finished within range in both facing tougher at this trip and had problems at the break in each.

4th pick: #11 (Invasion Looming) (6-1) - Longshot shortens up following a good effort going nine furlongs facing tougher May 11. Good effort came first off a Steve Miyadi claim, and I think this 4yo can impact at a square price.
