Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CAV) (8-1) - Very lightly raced colt is shortening up in distance in his second back from almost a 10-month layoff. He chased and tired late to check in 5th of 12, beaten almost seven lengths here at this level going 8.5 furlongs June 5. Trainer Bill Mot has worked him four times since and has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #10 (Tea and Cricket) (15-1) - Longshot moves from dirt to grass in his second back from a two month freshening. Heavily bet last out at this level on the local dirt, he ran very wide while beaten only three lengths. He's worked fast since, and Javier Castellano is back on he re-ride.
3rd pick: #11 (Monte Man) (8-1) - Freshened up since May 19, he finished 2nd here that day on the grass racing at this tag and trip. By far a career best, he returns as a NEW gelding and with blinkers off.
4th pick: #1 (Refer) (3-1) - From the same barn (J.P. Terranova II) as 'Monte Man,' he's the morning line favorite. He enters off a pair of 2nd place finishes here at this tag and trip and races with blinkers on. He has the rail, and 4yo has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard for the first time. An obvious threat.
