Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FELIX THE FOX) (3-1) - A well-bred 4yo, 'Felix' enters off an easy maiden win here at this distance June 1. Back in shape following a long layoff, this son of leading sire 'Tapit' gets top billing.
2nd pick: #9 (So High) (7-2) - A NEW gelding, this Augustin home-bred went 4-1-2-0 in England before being imported. On the sidelines since late April of 2019, he's training steadily, has ability, and was with a top trainer in England (John Gosden). 4yo is dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Gate Crew) (8-1) - No-speed type moves up in class after rallying to finish 2nd here facing $20-25K claimers. A fast and/or contested pace would help his late-running style out.
4th pick: #5 (Exchequer) (6-1) - This grey gelding was a gate-to-wire winner here for a $25K tag March 15 as he cleared the 3l condition. Moved up in class in his follow up pair, he tired in both, but his early speed against this particular group makes him dangerous at a square price.
