Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (THUNDER DUKE) (3-1) - Gelding ships in from Delaware Park where he chased and weakened to finish 4th facing tougher in his first facing winners June 20. It was a solid effort that came following a good looking maiden win there June 2. Drops and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Say No Maux) (5-1) - Speedy sort was never involved here at this level following a 'stumbling' start June 18. 3yo had broken his maiden by nine lengths here in his previous start and is dangerous with a 'clean' getaway.

3rd pick: #8 (Our Luck) (6-1) - No speed type has finished 2nd and 3rd the last two times he ran at this level. Well bred colt is a threat with his normal fast finish.

4th pick: #10 (Vancouver) (9-2) - Already making his 10th start of 2016, he chased and held down the place spot here June 18. It was his first at this $7,500 claiming price, and he was a 'head' in front of 'Our Luck.' Would like him a bit more if he didn't draw this tough post.

5th pick: #2 (M J's Knight) (7-2) - 3yo rated, bid, and tired to finish a non-threatening 4th last out at Penn National facing just a bit better June 11. May grab a small share, but needs to step it up for anything more than that.
