Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (LONESOME FUGITIVE) (7-2) - He's one of two entered by Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. This Irish-bred broke his maiden going a mile at Belmont June 6 in his first since finishing 2nd in his debut Jan. 26 at Gulfstream Park. The strong finisher gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Perjury Trap) (5-1) - The second of the Chad Brown pair, he's been idle since breaking his maiden Nov. 17 Aqueduct. It was his first on the turf after having been competitive in his first two dirt sprints. A $165,000 son of 'Blame,' he's worked here six times since June 13 and is dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Don Juan Kitten) (9-2) - A Ramsey homebred by 'Kitten's Joy,' he missed by a 'neck' June 7 at Belmont Park racing at this level and distance. Sharp in three of four on the grass, he 'hit the gate' at the break in his lone subpar effort. Speed/stalker is in the win mix.
4th pick: #7 (Proven Strategies) (3-1) - This very busy son of 'Sky Mesa' has gone 5-2-2-1 so far this year and enters off a pair of 2nd place finishes in stakes races. He has a speed/stalking style, is in career-best form, and is a contender here.
