Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (GINS AND TINS) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by Wesley Ward, and the pair race uncoupled. $250,000 gelding by 'Scat Daddy' finished 4th here when debuting in a five-furlong turf sprint at this level May 25. His trainer wins at a 26% rate second time out, and he's having a spectacular meet (12 for 35, 34%)..and year (56 of 197, 29%). Well backed first out, he draws a fine post here, and the additional furlong is a plus.
2nd pick: #1 (Baggins) (5-1) - Son of 'City Zip' was off slowly before making up some ground in the same May 25 race as 'Gin and Tins.' He was only two lengths behind him at the finish and can factor today at a square price with an alert beginning.
3rd pick: #10 (Mobilization) (10-1) - One of five making their debuts, this colt has some sharp works on view, including a bullet half-mile at Laurel June 8. Bred for grass success, he should get away at a big price in this contest.
4th pick: #9 (Beto) (4-1) - Another of the first-time-starters, he's bred for speed and ships in from Keeneland following a huge bullet half-mile breeze from the gate June 5. From the barn of Steve Asmussen (18% with debuting stock), Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard.
