Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (JOHN'S CROSS) (3-1) - Strong finisher doesn't have any early speed, but against this rather sub par looking group it may not make a difference. He's rounding into form following a pair of layoffs and can win this turning for home.

2nd pick: #1 (Pittsburgh Phil) (6-1) - He has some early speed and is breaking from the rail. Price play was only a 'neck' behind 'John's Cross' last out and is racing third back from a three-month layoff. Pa. bred is dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #6 (Oshie) (9-2) - Stretch out sprinter has only tried a two-turn distance once before and it was a poor effort. Well bred 4yo finished a pace-chasing 2nd here at this level going six furlongs April 24 and earned a good figure doing so. Can threaten from on, or just off the lead.

4th pick: #7 (Vaulted Heart) (8-1) - Another with a hint of speed, he's stretching back out after finishing a pace-setting 4th facing weaker going seven furlongs April 23. Both career wins have come at this trip, and that gives him a fighting chance with his best.
