Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TASHREEH) (7-2) - Well bred and lightly raced, he tired to finish 4th after chasing a fast pace here at this level going seven furlongs June 4. He's racing third back from several layoffs and is shortening up a furlong. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Royal Saint) (4-1) - Speed/stalker makes his turf debut this afternoon. 4yo tired last out going seven furlongs on the Churchill dirt May 22 and is dropping a bit in class. Son of 'Candy Ride' is bred for the surface and is dangerous if he takes to it. The presence of Irad Ortiz, Jr. is noted.

3rd pick: #6 (Spearhead) (3-1) - He tired last out facing tougher here going seven furlongs here June 24. Speedy sort had finished 2nd in two straight at this level in his previous pair and is an obvious threat in this spot.

4th pick: #7 (Latigo Trail) (12-1) - On the sidelines since Oct. 30th, he has sharp early speed, but gives away a big recency edge to the top three selections. Gelding has gone 8-1-4-1 here in the past and is 6-1-3-1 at this distance. Could factor at a big price if ready.
