Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TEXICAN) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old was involved every step when finishing second of 11, beaten a length at this tag and trip April 20 at Aqueduct. Only his third start, it was his first ever on the grass and by far his best up to this point. Gelding by 'Bernadini' has been working fast at Saratoga and he has trainer Chad Brown and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. in his corner.
2nd pick: #8 (Victor Lounge) (6-1) - Irish bred 3-year-old set the pace and held gamely to miss by a 'neck' at this level and distance April 20 at Aqueduct. It was a career best and this $200,000 purchase is a serious player in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Potomac) (10-1) - Colt moves up in class in his first off a Bob Diodoro claim (a 21% winning angle). Speed/stalker has finished second in two straight at this trip on the dirt facing weaker, but is clearly improving and is bred to like the grass. Price play.
4th pick: #6 (Inevitable) (8-1) - He rallied to finish third just under a length behind'Victor Lounge' April 20 at Aqueduct. It was his first on the grass and first since July 3 of 2017. $180,000 gelding by 'Giant's Causeway' must be left in the mix.
