Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PATH OF EXILE) (8-1) - Longshot has been working very fast since a troubled and even effort going 6.5 furlongs in his grass debut April 15. He has the rail, stretches out in distance, and leading rider Flavien Prat is aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #6 (Incredible Luck) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he finished a pace-setting second here at this level going nine furlongs April 22. Effort earned him the highest last race figure on any entered and he's an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Particleacelerator) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old tired late here while having some traffic issues at this level and distance April 30. Gelding was only a bit over a length behind 'Incredible Luck' Feb. 25 and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #4 (Hi Heat Boy) (6-1) - Home bred by grass sire 'Unusual Heat' stretches out in distance following a pair of even efforts here at this level going 6.5 furlongs. Bred to handle the added ground and trainer Phil D'Amato wins at a 19% rate on the stretch out angle.
