Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (THERE THEY GO) (7-2) - Lightly-raced gelding is shortening up in distance, dropping back down in class, and switches from turf to dirt. Hewas never involved June 9 going 11 furlongs on the grass but ad finished second in his previous pair on he dirt. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Love Your Buttons) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he raced evenly when finishing third when debuting in a local sprint on a sloppy track May 25. He's dropping down in price, stretches out in distance, and will be on a fast surface this afternoon.

3rd pick: #2 (Britain) (5-1) - From the Pletcher barn, 3-year-old raced wide before tiring going six furlongs at this tag May 27. He's worked since and should like this longer trip.

4th pick: #4 (Presidential Bid) (5-2) - He showed absolutely nothing when beaten decisively by 'Love Your Buttons' on a sloppy track May 25. I don't think he likes the footing and he's dropping in price, stretching out in distance, and has blinkers on. His trainer (Bob Diodoro) is 9-for-29 (31%) at this meet.
