Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SMOOTH LIKE STRAIT) (5-2) - Talented colt has been freshened up since a win at Churchill Downs going a mile in the $100K War Chant Stakes May 23. It was his first outside of California and ran his record on the grass to 6-3-1-1. Working steadily, he'll be tough if he brings his form back off of the 2.5-month break.
2nd pick: #2 (K P All Systems Go) (6-1) - He was beaten by just over four lengths here going a mile in the Oceanside Stakes July 10. The colt had a very wide trip, draws better today, and this son of 'More Than Ready' can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Storm the Court) (4-1) - This talented colt won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at this distance on the dirt Nov. 1. Competitive but win-less in three of four since then, he's on the grass for the first time and is a threat if he likes the surface change.
4th pick: #3 (Azul Coast) (7-2) - Another on the grass for the first time, this Baffert trained colt has gone 4-2-1-0 on the dirt. Bred to handle the surface, this stretch runner has talent and is a late threat.
