Bet this race at Top pick: #6 (Shirl's Speight) (3-1) - It's been three straight victories for Shirl's Speight, including at the Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile Stakes three weeks ago. Throw in an eight-length runaway in a turf sprint at Woodbine, and this horse has the speed and track record for another win.
2nd pick: #5 (Mira Mission) (10-1) - This four-year-old gelding has finished first, second, or third in eight of 10 races. The last time Mira Mission ran at this length was three races ago, taking first place in an allowance at Saratoga.
3rd pick: #3 (Public Sector) (5-1) - Trainer Chad Brown has a horse capable of bouncing back from a 4th place showing at the Hollywood Derby. Prior to that, Public Sector had finished first five times and second twice over seven straight races. At this 1 1/8-mile distance, Public Sector won the Hill Prince Stakes, while also finishing second to eventual champion two-year-old turf Fire at Will in the 11/16-mile Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont.
