Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MILES OF HUMOR) (3-1) - Home bred is switching from dirt to grass and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Son of 'Distorted Humor' ran third here at this level and distance on the main track May 14 and has been working very fast since. I like his chances.

2nd pick: #9 (Magician Man) (4-1) - He's shipping up from Philadelphia Park where he rallied to miss by a 'neck' when debuting in a dirt sprint May 23. Bred for the turf, trainer Tony Dutrow moves him to the grass, stretches him out in distance, and has John Velazquez aboard this $300,000 colt by 'Drosselmeyer.'

3rd pick: #8 (Chomsky) (5-1) - Freshened up for the past two months, this sped/stalker has been competitive in eight of nine starts since coming off a 19 month layoff a year ago. Working well and last out ran a big figure for an older maiden. Win threat.

4th pick: #1 (Clear the Mine) (8-1) - Un-raced since early December, gelding by 'Mineshaft' is working steadily for his return. Several of his a.m. drills are on the quick side and this 3-year-old has shown early speed a couple of times. Can factor at a big price if ready.
