Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NORTH COUNTY GUY) (9-2) - He rallied while widest to finish 4th of 12, beaten just under two lengths here facing tougher May 19. He moves to the rail, drops back down, and grey gelding gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Katzumoto) (5-1) - Away since Aug. 18, he raced evenly that day when debuting against tougher at Del Mar. Colt had a tough inside post and this $100,000 purchase is dropping in class while showing a fine series of works for his return.
3rd pick: #7 (It's a New Year) (7-2) - He's cutting back in distance after tiring late to finish third at his tag going a mile May 13. He fits with these and is dropping 8 lbs. with apprentice Figueroa aboard.
4th pick: #4 (Imagineiamfastest) (4-1) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in all three dirt sprints and is dropping down while shortening up a furlong. He should be involved every step with is normal effort.
