Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (INTO THE BREACH) (4-1) - Grey colt rallied late to finish 5th of 10, beaten just over three lengths racing here at this level and distance May 6. It was his first start in 11 months and he lost all chance when he stumbled badly at the break. Much improved since switching to the grass and he gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Mathematician) (7-2) - Three-year-old has been competitive in four straight at this level on the grass. He rallied to finish third here at this level and distance May 6 and was 1.5 lengths in front of 'Into the Breach'. It earned him the highest figure any in this contest has reached and 3-year-old is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Steeles Run) (9-2) - Grey son of 'Tapit' ships from Gulfstream where he missed by a length when debuting there at this level going a mile April 21. He worked a solid half-mile here May 31 and trainer Todd Pletcher (34% second time out) has Javier Castellano aboard.

4th pick: #7 (Captain Hardship) (10-1) - Gelding ships from Laurel where he missed by a 'head' going 8.5 furlongs at this level May 5. Longshot was racing off a 5.5 month layoff and can grab a share with a bit of improvement.

5th pick: #3 (Wicked Trick) (8-1) - The main speed, he missed by a 'neck' at this level April 26 at Keeneland. Three-year-old set a solid pace that afternoon and was caught in the last few strides. Long shot will take them as far as he can at a square price.
