Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (UNCLE MOJO) (5-2) - He enters off a 2nd place finish at Belmont Park at this level going 8 1/2 furlongs June 11. Only his second start, it was his first in five months and was a big step forward off his debut. Gets a slight edge in a three-horse win mix on paper.
2nd pick: #3 (Weather Wiz) (3-1) - Lasix is added to colt by 'Tiznow,' who finished a pace-chasing 3rd when debuting going seven furlongs at Belmont July 4. The first-time-lasix angle has always been a strong one by trainer Jimmy Jerkens, and this $150K purchase has a big shot at going gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #2 (Mr Classical) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he rallied to finish 3rd when debuting at Belmont going seven furlongs June 9. Heavily backed that day, trainer Chad Brown wins at a 28% rate second time out, and is at the same percentage when stretching runners out in distance.
4th pick: #1 (Powerful Ally) (12-1) - A minor player, he has the rail, and enters off a distant 2nd place finish at Churchill Downs May 21. He may grab a minor award at a big price if one of the top three picks is sub par.
