Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RODERICK) (8-5) - Reported to be a runner before debuting June 21 at Belmont, this $550,000 son of 'Into Mischief' won that five-furlong sprint by just over eight lengths at odds of 2-5. Training very fast both before and after that debut, he meets a weak field in this G2 contest and should win again.

2nd pick: #1 (Sonic Brees) (6-1) - One of two entered by Doug O'Neill, he broke his maiden at Los Al July 4 after finishing 2nd when debuting June 6 at Santa Anita. Stalker has the rail and should grab a share.

3rd pick: #2 (Ambivalent) (5-1) - The second of the O'Neill pair, he's the field's only maiden. A $550K son of rising star 'Constitution,' he rallied to finish 2nd in his debut June 21, is working steadily locally, and is capable of factoring.

4th pick: #3 (Schnell) (10-1) - A debut winner going five furlongs at Los Al June 26, he earned a low figure, but 2yos can improve quickly at any time, and it's noted he was well-supported first-out (7-5).
