Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (GATO DOLCE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker stretches out in distance following four straight competitive efforts sprinting here at this $20K tag. Working fast, he has the rail and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #5 (Specimen) (5-2) - He's another stretching out in this spot. Six-year-old finished second at this tag going seven furlongs May 14 in his second back from a seven month break. The last time he ran at this trip on the dirt, he was beaten a nose at this $20K tag Aug. 11 at Del Mar. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Picture Tube) (5-1) - Veteran maiden has been competitive in all three starts since dropping down to this level. Only a 'neck' in back of 'Specimen' May 14, he must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #4 (Vow's Son) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has been racing evenly facing tougher. He's dropping to a new low and does so with blinkers on. Stretch threat.
