Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SPINDLETOP) (8-1) - Longshot is one of two entered in this contest by Kiaran McLaughlin and the pair race uncoupled. A Godolphin home bred, he tired here going a mile for a $75,000 price tag May 17. It was his first start in around 100 days and he ships from Saratoga following a pair of sharp half-mile breezes. Barn drops him to run for $40K and think this 3yo by 'Hard Spun' has a good shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #2 (A I Initiative) (7-2) - A 4yo by grass sire 'Artie Schiller', he had serious traffic issues when checking in 5th of 9, beaten 5.5 lengths here at this tag and trip June 2. It was his first since March 22 when he ran second at Gulfstream going a mile. Stalker has a fine post and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Deft) (4-1) - He enters off a career best here June 15. Racing first off a $40K claim by Rudy Rodriguez on May 2, he rallied to finish third at this distance for a $75K tag. Back on a quick turnaround (11 days), he's in at the claimed price and has Joel Rosario aboard.
4th pick: #8 (Crypto Gold) (5-2) - No-speed type rallied from far back to win by a 1/2 length here at this tag and trip May 11. However, he was disqualified and placed third following a bumping incident in the final 1/16th. A fast/and or contested pace would help his chances out.
