Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DREAMZAPPER) (3-1) - This 4yo ships from Kentucky where he just missed facing 'open' $50,000 starter-allowance foes at Churchill Downs going 8.5 furlongs June 9. It was a career best overall and followed an easy win there at the same distance against $40K 'open' claimers May 18. Stalker draws a good post, is in with fellow New York breds, and Luis Saez is aboard.
2nd pick: #6 (Doups Point) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's finished second in two straight at this level, both at Belmont following a 5.5 month layoff. The field's lone 3yo, he has a flexible style, is consistent, and he still has room for upside. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Irish Valor) (10-1) - Finger Lakes invader has an outstanding record on the dirt and enters off a win there June 11 going a bit over a mile. Working fast since, 4yo has the rail, Jose Ortiz aboard, a great post, and he's 4-1-2-1 on wet tracks in the past.
