Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MY UNCLE AL) (2-1) - He's returning from a 2.5-month layoff with several changes. His connections drop him in class, switch him from grass to dirt, and are cutting him back in distance. He meets a weak field, and trainer Mike Puype has Bejarano back aboard following a one race absence.
2nd pick: #4 (Gonzo) (3-1) - Gelding has improved noticeably since coming back from a bit more that 2.5-month layoff March 26. He enters off a 2nd place finish for a $30K claiming price April 15 that earned him a career best figure which is near the best that 'My Uncle Al' can produce. Dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Hoppitty) (5-2) - Rare Texas bred raced evenly when finishing a close up 4th when debuting here for a $30K price tag April 2. He drops down a bit, moves from an outside to an inside post, and should be involved the entire distance.
