Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NOW IN A DRIVE) (5-2) - Colt has been sharp in both starts since coming off a 4.5 month layoff April 21 at Keeneland. He missed by a 1/2 length that day racing at this level and distance then finished second here going a mile May 21. Working above average, he draws a much better post than in his last pair and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #9 (Sentry) (2-1) - Very lightly-raced, he was only a 'nose' in back of 'Now in a Drive' April 21 at Keeneland. Only his second start, home bred by 'Smart Strike' is an obvious contender.

3rd pick: #8 (Bushmill's Legend) (10-1) - Longshot is shortening up in distance after an extremely wide trip after breaking from an outside post going 10 furlongs May 12. He's finished within a reasonable range in all three starts and is a stretch threat at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Lucullan) (5-1) - Godolphin home bred has early speed and draws the rail in his first on the grass. Colt by 'Hard Spun' is dangerous if he gets an uncontested early advantage.
