Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (APACHE RED) (3-1) - Stretch runner has been competitive in all four starts at the meet since shipping here from Northlands Park in the fall. Leading rider Scott Stevens stays aboard and this 4-year-old by 'Drosselmeyer' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Move With Caution) (5-1) - Lightly-raced gelding raced evenly here at this level going 6.5 furlongs Dec. 14. It was his first race since April 4 and he was bumped hard at the break. Trainer Val Lund stretches him out in distance and is adding blinkers. Dangerous if he gets an uncontested early lead.

3rd pick: #7 (War Code) (6-1) - He's another stretching back out in distance. He was less than a length in back of 'Move With Caution' last out and think he can be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price.
