Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GUCCI FACTOR) (9-2) - On the sidelines since late August, he tired while day after breaking from an outside post going nine furlongs at Saratoga. In his previous start, $150K purchase finished second here at this level and distance. Training above average, he has a good shot at a square price if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Pirate's Treasure) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's stretching out beyond 6.5 furlongs for the first time. Colt finished a distant second here at this level on a sloppy surface May 29. It was his first back off a seven week freshening and the winner that day scored right back last week.
3rd pick: #2 (Mr Massena) (15-1) - Longshot moves from grass to dirt for this attempt. $175,000 colt by 'Flatter' raced evenly here on the grass May 27. He appears to be moving forward and you get 'Hall of Fame' member Bill Mot at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Big Ragu) (5-1) - No-speed type has been on the sidelines since March 18. He's nibbled a couple of times and races off a private trainer change to veteran Mike Hushion. May grab a minor award with a late rally.
