Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LEAP TO GLORY) (6-1) - Long shot is working fast for his first since Dec. 23. Gelding runs off a positive trainer change to Charlie Baker and this 3-year-old showed good early speed in several of his starts in 2017. He gets a slight edge, but make sure you box your exactas and trifectas in this contest.

2nd pick: #7 (Light the Posse) (10-1) - Debuting 3-year-old is from the same barn (Charlie Baker) as 'Leap To Glory' but the pair race as separate betting interests. He appears to have worked in tandem with his barn-mate June 14 and finished on even terms with him in a 5 furlong gate breeze.

3rd pick: #4 (Killala Bay) (5-1) - Home bred has been freshened up since a pair of starts at this level and distance during Jan. and Feb. at Aqueduct. Very wide in both, colt by 'Mineshaft' enters off a pair of very quick local half-mile works.

4th pick: #1 (Royal Heist) (7-2) - He tired when debuting here at this level going 6.5 furlongs May 28. Home bred set a quick and pressured pace and should hold much better today with that initial experience to move forward upon.
