Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CREED) (2-1) - This $650,000 son of 'Honor Code' was a very sharp maiden winner here by almost eight lengths at this distance on a muddy surface June 11. Only his second start, he had a lot of trouble when finishing 2nd debuting going seven furlongs at Tampa Bay Downs April 22. He worked fast June 28 and gets top billing today despite facing winners for the first time.
2nd pick: #4 (Edge of Fire) (5-1) - Competitive in all three starts at Gulfstream, he's finished 2nd and 3rd in a pair of starts going a mile there just below this level. A homebred by 'Curlin,' he has a flexible style and should factor in his Belmont debut.
3rd pick: #3 (Mister Winston) (7-2) - This colt rallied to win his debut by a 1/2-length going 6.5 furlongs at Gulfstream April 11. The horse he narrowly defeated finished 2nd here the other day when sprinting on the grass. Working fast for Chad Brown, he stretches him out in distance, a strong 37% angle from the barn, and Javier Castellano is aboard.
4th pick: #2 (Life Changer) (4-1) - This colt gritted out a debut maiden win here at six furlongs June 6. Ignored in the betting (12-1), he's worked twice since, stretches out, and Joel Rosario stays aboard.
