Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (KLONDIKE CREEK) (5-2) - The probable favorite, 4yo has gone 4-1-2-1 since coming off a three month break Feb. 16. Following his maiden win that afternoon, colt has been sharp in three straight at this level. Son of 'Gio Ponti' has room for upside and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #6 (French Getaway) (7-2) - 'Long winded' type is getting back into shape after coming back from a nine-month layoff Jan. 2. He was just under a length behind 'Klondike Creek' at this condition and distance April 21 and is an obvious threat.

3rd pick: #1 (It's the Ice) (6-1) - Another racing into shape following some 'down' time, he was 1.5 lengths in back of 'Klondike Creek' May 20. English bred has good early speed and breaks from the rail. Dangerous at a square price.

4th pick: #2 (Cafe Flavor) (8-1) - Very lightly raced, colt ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he was an easy maiden winner going a mile on the grass May 14. Well bred, he has room for upside, and should love this 12-furlong distance.
