Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BIG DISCOVERY) (5-2) - Strong finisher is cutting back in distance for his first facing winners. It took him 15 starts to get his maiden win, but it came here going 8.5 furlongs for a $20K tag June 23. It was his first off a Tim Yakteen claim and with blinkers added. Nicely spotted today and think he can win right back.

2nd pick: #2 (Ajac) (7-2) - Another coming off a maiden win, it came here going six furlongs June 11. It was his third start back off an 11 month layoff and this once promising 5-year-old is working fast and has more natural speed than most.

3rd pick: #3 (Selection) (3-1) - Gelding is dropping down in class, switches from turf to dirt, and shortens up in distance. He as some of the best dirt figures showing and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Dothraki) (6-1) - He enters off a good effort facing tougher going a mile on the grass here June 19. Capable of impacting on the dirt, he needs his very best for anything more than a minor award.
