Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NOHOLDINGBACK BEAR) (4-1) - Stalker has plenty of talent and has gone 6-2-3-0 to date. Both wins came on a similar surface at Woodbine, and he ships from there following an easy win in a $125K stakes at this distance April 17. Colt has worked fast since and can win right back.
2nd pick: #10 (Quijote) (7-2) - He was scratched out of a sprint stakes at Pimlico on Preakness day to await this spot. He's making his synthetic debut after going 4-2-2-0 in dirt sprints. Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in two straight stakes and is a win candidate if he doesn't scratch.
3rd pick: #9 (Holding Gold) (9-2) - Lightly raced ships from Woodbine and is a perfect two-for-two there on a similar surface. Well bred and in a top barn (Mark Casse), it's of note that a top Canadian based jockey (Patrick Husbands) is in for the ride.
4th pick: #2 (Don't Be So Salty) (3-1) - He's cutting back in distance for the first time since last September when he was an easy winner here going 6.5 furlongs in an allowance test. A stakes winner going longer at Woodbine Nov. 29th, he's an obvious threat in this spot.
