Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ORDINAIRE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he missed by a 'neck' here racing on the grass at this level and distance June 19. It was a career best and came in his second start back off a nine-month layoff. One run type can take this with just a small step forward.
2nd pick: #10 (Two Down One to Go) (5-1) - Bred for grass success, son of 'Kitten's Joy' moves up in class and shortens up in distance in his first off a Steve Asmussen claim. 3yo missed by less than a length here going 8.5 furlongs for a $40K tag the day he was claimed (June 16). Blinkers go on, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #8 (D'eloquent) (10-1) - Longshot has some early speed and is racing on the grass for the first time. He's been competitive in two of three starts on the dirt and is dangerous at a big price if he takes to the turf.
4th pick: #1 (Leaveematthegate) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Leah Gyamarti, and the pair race uncoupled. Away since October, this son of 'Kitten's Joy' was competitive in all four grass starts in 2015. Working steadily and a major threat if ready.
5th pick: #7 (Junger) (6-1) - He's had a lot of chances (23), but has early sped and has been sharp in two of three at this meet since coming off a 5.5-month break May 20. Can grab a share at a square price.
