Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FAST GETAWAY) (5-2) - This lightly raced 4yo is one of two entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. Broman home bred finished second here going 6 furlongs May 17 in his second back from a 5.5 month layoff and he should like today's 7-furlong trip. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Elektronic) (9-5) - The second of the pair from Linda Rice , he's the morning line and probable favorite. Bred/owned by the trainer, 3yo has won two in a row, both at this meet at 6 furlongs. Colt by 'City Zip' has a stalking style, plenty of room for upside, and he completes a strong hand from the barn.

3rd pick: #1 (Mango M) (3-1) - He rallied to win a first-level allowance for fellow state bred here at 8.5 furlongs May 17. It was his first start since Nov. 30 and it's noted that this 4yo by 'Tale of the Cat' was favored in his return. Gelding likes it at Belmont 5-2-1-1 and he should be making up ground in the stretch run.

4th pick: #5 (Ready to Escape) (6-1) - A speed/stalker by 'More Than Ready', he's on the grass for the first time. He missed by less than a length sprinting on the Aqueduct dirt at this level March 17, is working fast, and is bred to like the surface change.
