Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SACRED RIDER) (5-2) - He ships from Golden Gate Fields where he's been sharp in a pair of starts facing 'open' company. He's gone 4-2-1-0 on the grass so far, has a flexible style, and he has a ground-saving post. He gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Margot's Boy) (8-5) - This home-bred enters with three wins in a row, and last out defeated today's rival, 'Indian Peak,' by just under a length. He's the main speed and is an obvious contender if able to get an uncontested lead in the first half-mile.

3rd pick: #5 (California Kook) (8-1) - This longshot is the only filly entered, but she's a strong finisher and should get a solid pace picture to rally into at this nine-furlong trip. It's noted that leading rider Prat is back on the re-ride.

4th pick: #7 (Indian Peak) (7-2) - This hard-hitter is 3-1-2-0 on the grass and enters off a fine 2nd place finish behind 'Margot's Boy' here at a mile May 23. He's a contender, but may be over-bet a bit.
