Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (DIG DEEP) (9-2) - Lightly raced colt is racing second back from a seven-week freshening and is on the grass for the first time. Stalker had a 'troubled' trip here in the G2 Woody Stephens Stakes going seven furlongs on the dirt June 11. Bred to handle the turf, and he's working well off site on it. He has a fine outside post for his style and can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Too Discreet) (7-2) - Grey colt was a sharp winner here in a $100K stakes on his course going seven furlongs May 28. He's now won three of four starts on the grass and is still getting better. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Giant Run) (5-1) - The field's most experienced runner, he's gone 6-2-3-1 on the grass. He enters off a series of stakes races on the turf that saw him go 4-1-2-1. In shape, training fine, and John Velazquez is aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #3 (Life Imitates Art) (5-2) - The probable favorite, his entire career has been spent on the turf. Strong finisher has gone 7-3-3-1 so far, and two of his wins have come in stakes. Dangerous, but no 'lock' at a short price.
