Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DOMAIN) (2-1) - Improving and lightly raced, Phipp's home bred has finished second in two straight at this level going 8.5 furlongs around one turn at Belmont. Son of Derby winner 'Orb' should love this longer two-turn trip and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #8 (Point to Remember) (9-2) - Stronach home bred is stretching out off a third-place finish going 6.5 furlongs July 6 at Belmont Park. That's a strong 29% winning angle from trainer Jimmy Jerkens and he has this colt making back-to-back starts for the first time.

3rd pick: #2 (Fireball Shot) (3-1) - The field's most experienced maiden has finished second in five straight starts including one here at this distance last August 16. In shape and an obvious contender.

4th pick: #1 (Zealous) (12-1) - Longshot is well bred and son of 'Tiznow' has been brought along slowly by the patient Jim Bond. Colt has the rail, some early speed, but was beaten almost 9 lengths by 'Domain' last out. 4yo may get a minor award at a big price.
