Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (UNCLE TBONE) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he set the pace and held gamely to miss by a 'neck' here at this level going seven furlongs May 3. A career best, it came in his second start back from a 10 month layoff. He shortens up a furlong and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Top Hat City) (3-1) - Maryland invader has missed by a 'nose' and a 'neck' in his first two grass sprints at Laurel. Stalker faces New York breds for the first time and does so with Javier Castellano aboard.
3rd pick: #12 (Danny's Rush) (8-1) - On the sidelines since Nov. 18, he rallied to finish a close up third that day going 8.5 furlongs at this level on the Aqueduct turf. Colt missed by two lengths here at this trip Sept. 11 and he's a threat if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Uncle Chester) (4-1) - Experienced maiden has gone 7-0-2-4 on the local grass and last out he finished on even terms with 'Uncle Tbone.' He seems best going a bit longer, but must be left in the mix based on his consistency.
5th pick: #4 (Saratoga Colonel) (20-1) - Longshot is racing second back from a 5.5 month layoff. He ran evenly at this level and distance in his return May 3, a contest where he had some traffic issues at the break.
