Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ECONOMIC MODEL) (8-5) - Lightly raced colt moves up in class in this $500,000 (G3) stakes. He's won two in a row here and won the $144K Easy Goer Stakes going 8.5 furlongs June 11. Son of 'Flatter' is training well, has a flexible style, and still has room for upside. If he wins this, trainer Chad Brown may have the Travers Stakes (G1) in mind.

2nd pick: #3 (Voluntario) (6-1) - Much improved of late, trainer Rudy Rodriguez had this colt cross-entered in a stakes at Monmouth this afternoon and has decided to run him in this much richer contest. Stalker has gone 3-1-2-0 since coming off a seven-week freshening April 15 and is dangerous at a square price.

3rd pick: #8 (Fish Trappe Road) (8-1) - Speedy New York bred enters in career best form. He finished 2nd here in the G2 Woody Stephens Stake (G2) going seven furlongs June 11 and appears to be the main speed. Grey colt draws a fine outside post at this one-tun mile and can factor at long odds.

4th pick: #7 (Swipe) (9-2) - No speed type finished 2nd four times as a 2yo to Kentucky Derby (G1) winner 'Nyquist' in 2015. Strong finisher had a solid six-furlong prep for this here June 26 and is brought back quickly while stretching out in distance.
