Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NEW YORK HERO) (2-1) - Lightly-raced colt has been freshened up since rallying to finish 3rd in a $100K sprint stakes for New York breds Feb. 11 at Aqueduct on a sloppy track. Competitive in all four starts, $335,000 son of 'Mineshaft' has room for upside and gets a slight edge. However, you should box your wagers in this contest.
2nd pick: #1 (O Shea Can U See) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner has sharp early speed and is breaking from the rail. It came here at this distance facing $30K state bred claimers but he earned the largest last out figure of this group that afternoon. Dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Proletariat) (4-1) - Veteran has finished third in his last three starts at this level. Latest came here June 14 when he missed by just under a length going 6 furlongs. In shape and 6-year-old must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Inalienable Rights) (8-1) - Grey gelding was stakes placed four times during 2017 during his 2-year-old season. He showed nothing here in a 7 furlongs grass contest at this level June 3 but it was his first since Dec. 17 and had the look of nothing more than a conditioning effort. Back on the dirt, he worked fast June 22 and it's a big plus that John Velazquez sticks with him.
