Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MARKET STRENGTH) (5-2) - Lightly raced colt rallied while six wide to finish a close up fourth at this level April 15 on the Aqueduct turf. Florida bred lost his best chance that day when he went to his knees at the beak. Training steadily since, trainer Chad Brown adds blinkers and is 9 for his last 36 (25%).
2nd pick: #7 (Just Been Jammin) (6-1) - Price play finished a close up third on the Aqueduct turf April 14. Only his third lifetime start, it was his first ever on the grass. $250K son of 'Giant's Causeway' runs for trainer Gus Rodriguez while brother Rudy serves a short suspension for a medication violation.
3rd pick: #2 (Bluegrass Rye) (5-1) - NEW gelding has been away from action since Dec 4. Training above average for his return, he missed by less than a length here at this level and distance Oct 21. Dangerous if ready off the six month layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Caldera) (7-2) - No-speed type is dropping into a claimer for this attempt. He missed by a 'neck' April 9 at Aqueduct facing tougher, but was never involved here May 7 after having some early traffic issues. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
5th pick: #12 (Riding the Rails) (12-1) - Lightly-raced, he improved dramatically when switched to the turf May 22. Well bred, he's dropping in class and Castellano stays aboard. Would like this one more if e had a better post.
