Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HOWELL MOUNTAIN) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. This home bred by 'Bernardini' has been freshened up since late May. He's run deceptively well in both starts and is working fast for his return. Castellano stays aboard and this colt can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Travis County) (3-1) - Son of 'Tapit' cost $850,000 back in 2014. He finished just in front of 'Howell Mountain' May 29 and has been working well above average for his return to action.
3rd pick: #6 (I'm Amazing) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he was beaten a 'nose' in the same May 29 race that both 'Howell Mountain' and 'Travis County' exit. Grey colt by 'Unbridled's Song' cost a whopping $1,600,000 in 2014 and he's a major threat, but at a short price.
4th pick: #1 (Mini Sala) (4-1) - The second of the Pltecher maidens, he's stretching out in distance after chasing a fast pace before weakening to finish fourth when debuting here in a seven furlong contest June 10. Pletcher wins at a 28% rate second time out and at a 26% clip on the increase in distance.
