Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MY MAN SAM) (9-5) - Lightly-raced colt has been on the sidelines since a troubled trip in the May 7 Kentucky derby (G1). Strong finisher is working both frequently and well above average for his return and can take this if ready. NOTE: Make sure you reverse your exactas for a few dollars as he's at risk of being victimized by a possible slow pace.
2nd pick: #3 (Conviction) (3-1) - Much like 'My Man Sam,' he's lightly-raced, has talent, and likes to come from of the pace. Improving son of 'Tapit' is in the Pletcher barn and has plenty of room for upside.
3rd pick: #1 (Gray Sky) (9-2) - One of a pair that like to race on or just of the lead, he ships in from Churchill Downs in shape for Hall of Fame member Wayne Lukas. Another son of 'Tapit' he has the rail, a pair of sharp local works, and is dangerous if the pace is slow.
4th pick: #2 (Cadeyrn) (6-1) - I think he's the main speed. Lightly-raced colt by 'Malibu Moon' set the pace and weakened to finish third racing at this level and distance June 25 at Belmont Park. He was only a length in back of 'Conviction' and must be left in the mix.
