Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HELIODORO) (6-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Nick Zito and the pair race uncoupled. Price play has had legitimate excuses in his last pair and is dropping in class while stretching out in distance. Working well on the training track at Saratoga, 4-year-old is bred to like this trip, and John Velazquez stays aboard.

2nd pick: #4 (Where's Willy) (5-1) - Three-year-old by 'Midnight Lute' cost $300,000 and can be had today for a $30K claiming price. He's been competitive in two straight going shorter and is stretching out to a mile for this attempt.

3rd pick: #3 (Perfect Execution) (15-1) - Longshot raced evenly here at this level going 6.5 furlongs May 26. Another that's traveling longer today, he raced evenly at this distance facing tougher April 24 at Aqueduct. May grab a share at a very big price.

4th pick: #2 (Fielding Gold) (10-1) - Lasix is added for his second start back off an eight week freshening. Gelding set/pressed a quick pace at this tag and trip here May 28 before tiring to check in a distant third. He's worked since and his early speed makes him a bit interesting.
