Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (VENTRY BAY) (3-1) - Gelding ships from Keeneland where he was beaten almost 3 lengths in a first level allowance going 5.5 furlongs April 19. It was his first race since Oct. 13 and 4-year-old is nicely spotted today by trainer Wesley Ward who is 8-for-20 (40%) at this meet.

2nd pick: #4 (Fact Check) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he was a winner here at this distance May 3 facing $40,000 2l opposition. It was his first in 11 months, first following a Jay Servis claim, and colt is a win threat right back.

3rd pick: #6 (Dirty) (6-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old has sharp early speed and has been working very fast at Saratoga. He tired here at this trip facing tougher April 18, but he earned a career best figure. It's noted that Jose Ortiz is aboard for this attempt.

4th pick: #11 (No Regrets) (8-1) - Long shot has been sharp in two straight sprinting on the grass. Last out he finished second here May 3 and 4-year-old was only a length behind 'Fact Check' that afternoon. Stalker has a fine outside post and Luis Saez is replacing Kendrick Carmouche.
