Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SYNDERGAARD) (5-2) - Colt ships back from Kentucky where he was beaten 5.5 lengths in a $100K sprint stakes April 29. It was his first since early November, and he had some traffic issues during the running. He's back in with New York breds and is a perfect two for two facing them.
2nd pick: #5 (Bobby On Fleek) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he tired badly after a slow beginning going a mile in the Pat Day Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs May 6. He had won a stakes at Aqueduct facing state breds March 24 and earned a huge figure. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (T Loves a Fight) (6-1) - Very consistent sort has gone 5-3-2-0 in 2017. One run type has a ground saving post, has won at this distance in the past, and earned a career best figure when winning his only start on a wet surface.
4th pick: #10 (Pat On the Back) (20-1) - Longshot has no early speed, but should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into. He won three of six facing New York breds in 2016 and won a $250K stakes here in the slop going a mile Oct. 22.
