Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (KETTLES ON) (9-2) - Price play is racing third back off a break and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. $200K son of 'Giant's Causeway' has raced evenly in his last pair facing much tougher and has a shot at a square price on the class reduction.
2nd pick: #5 (Gee Pea Ess) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he has the best early speed and is another dropping into a claimer for the first time. He tired last out after dueling through fast fractions facing tougher and is an obvious win candidate with leading rider Jose Rtiz staying aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (Axtel) (5-2) - On the sidelines since late January, he's working nicely for his return. Three-year-old missed by a 1/2 length here at this distance last October in his only previous appearance on the Belmont grass. Contends today.
4th pick: #1a (Azarel) (12-1) - Colt has tired in all three starts, but is cutting back in distance and draws a much better post tan e had here May 19. He worked fast on the Saratoga training track June 7 and may get a minor award at a big price.
