Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CLINT MAROON) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. A winner of three straight, English bred was a 4 lengh winner of the $100K Woodhaven Stakes going 8.5 furlongs April 20 at Aqueduct. The main speed, he's working steadily and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Social Paranoia) (7-5) - The second of the pair from Todd Pletcher, colt missed by just under a length in the G2 American Turf Stakes going 8.5 furlongs at Churchill Downs May 4. His stalking style should play well in this spot and son of 'Street Sense' completes a strong hand from the barn.

3rd pick: #3 (Demarchelier) (9-2) - English import is a perfect 2-for-2 and will be making his stakes debut. He won his debut Nov. 21 at Aqueduct, then following just under a five month layoff, he rallied to win a Keeneland allowance April 12. One of two entered by Chad Brown and they race as separate betting interests.

4th pick: #1 (Value Proposition) (5-2) - The second of the Brown trainees, he was a very easy winner when debuting here going 8.5 furlongs April 27. Heavily bet that day, he earned the highest last out figure of any entered. Another bred in England, he has the rail and is dangerous despite a big move up in class.
