Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (OUR BRAINTRUST) (6-1) - Price play ships from Laurel where he finished second going 7 furlongs in a $100K stakes for fellow Maryland breds Dec 8. It was his first since upsetting Belmont's $150,000 Tremont Stakes June 8. He's worked fast since and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Souper Jackpot) (2-1) - Gulfstream invader missed by a 'neck' there at this distance in a $75K stakes Dec 8. Home bred by 'Ghostzapper' worked sharply Dec 22 before heading north and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Mind Control) (9-5) - The field's lone 'Graded' stakes winner, he won Saratoga's $250K Hopeful Sept. 3. In his follow up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) Nov. 2 at Churchill Downs he was never involved after a poor start. Working fast locally and a win candidate with his best.
