Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SILVER SHIELD) (8-1) - Price play ships up from Monmouth where he broke his maiden at this distance for a $50K claiming price June 14. It was his first start since March 22 and his first for trainer Bob O'Connor. One-run type should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into and has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #9 (Seanow) (7-2) - The fields only two-time winner, he went wire-to-wire to win here at this distance for a $50K price tag May 30. A career best, it came in his first back after spending 8 months on the sidelines. In the Pletcher barn and this home bred by 'Tiznow' is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Willing to Speed) (5-2) - He's finished second in two straight here at this level and distance, the latest on May 23. Colt has clearly improved since coming off a 2.5 month freshening May 2 and is an obvious contender.
4th pick: #3 (Rucksack) (8-1) - Longshot is clearly the main speed and is on the grass for only the second time. He's been pretty consistent on the dirt and will take them as far as he can on the lead at a big price.
