Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ZAP ZAP ZAP) (3-1) - Well bred 4yo ships up from Gulfstream where he was a decisive winner there April 29 going six furlongs at today's $25,000 claiming price. He's been competitive here in the past and is nicely spotted by trainer Todd Pletcher.

2nd pick: #8 (Lucky Town) (7-2) - Speedy veteran tired here going seven furlongs for a $35,000 tag May 11. He's dropping down, shortening up, and enters off a solid half-mile breeze here May 24. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #3 (Stretch's Stone) (4-1) - Highly thought of by his connections early in 2017, 4yo hasn't raced since finishing far back in the $1,000,000 Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) in early April of that year. Training steadily, he should be ready as gelding may be claimed out of this spot.

4th pick: #4 (Javelin) (8-1) - Steady sort tired while extremely wide here facing tougher May 11. Stalker was competitive in three of four prior to that and must be left in the mix today.
