Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FRONT) (3-1) - Veteran is dropping to a new low in class following a solid fourth place finish here at this distance facing tougher June 17. Well bred 6-year-old has been in over his head most of his career and has been competitive many times without winning facing much better. He's Set up nicely for this attempt.

2nd pick: #9 (Compliance Officer) (4-1) - Old timer has won over $800,000 during his long career and has 14 lifetime wins on the grass. 10-year-old tired here at this level and distance June 4 in his first start in seven months. Lightly-raced over the past two years, his speed/stalking style makes him a serious contender.

3rd pick: #1 (Mr. Rosenthal) (7-2) - The main speed. he's racing for the first time since Nov 25. This is a tag and trip he likes and veteran gelding is dangerous if ready with his best off the layoff.

4th pick: #5 (Hurry Up Alan) (6-1) - From the same barn (Dave Jacobson) as 'Front,' the pair race uncoupled. Stalker is better on both dirt and 'poly' surfaces, but has been competitive on the grass in the past and enters in sharp form. It's of note that Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.
