Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (POLAR WIND) (3-1) - This lightly raced home-bred has the best early speed and is dropping in class. A winner of two of his last three, trainer Cliff Sise, Jr. has leading rider Umberto Rispoli aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #1 (Blame It On Kitty) (5-2) - Stretch runner has been very sharp in his last four starts without winning. Beaten less that 2 lengths in each, he has a ground saving post and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Howbeit) (8-1) - Colt is from the same barn (Dog O'Neill) as 'Blame It On Kitty'. The field's other 3yo, along with 'Polar Wind", he's dropping in class while stretching out in distance. Longshot is capable of factoring.
4th pick: #4 (The Stiff) (4-1) - His lack of early speed is a negative, but he's one for one on the dirt, has solid figures on the grass, and is a late threat if the pace is fast/and or contested.
