Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SUBTLE INDIAN) (3-1) - The main speed he finished a pace-setting second here going six furlongs in the G2 Kona Gold Stakes May 21. It was his first on the West Coast and he has a solid shot at taking this field from gate-to-wire.

2nd pick: #2 (Kobe's Back) (5-2) - Veteran ships back from Churchill Downs where he finished a fast closing third in the Churchill Downs Stakes (G2) at this distance May 7. He loves it at Santa Anita 6-3-2-0 and has always been at his best at this seven-furlong trip. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Lord Nelson) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and talented, he was a sharp winner here when facing weaker going six furlongs June 3. It was only his second start since coming of an eight month layoff in late December and he appears to be headed back in the right direction. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Coastline) (6-1) - One-run type was less than a length behind 'Subtle Indian' last out and he likes this seven furlong distance 4-2-1-0. Stretch threat at a big price.
