Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DEFIANTLY) (7-2) - The steady performer has been sharp in two straight and lost by only a 1/2 length at this level and distance June 15 at Santa Anita. Five-year-old stalker gets a slight edge, but make sure you box your exactas and tris in this race.

2nd pick: #2 (Bronzino) (6-1) - French import ships from Golden Gate Fields where he's finished second in three of four starts since mid-April. Another stalker, he's moving up a bit in class for this attempt.

3rd pick: #8 (Montu) (9-2) - Speedy colt drops in price while stretching out in distance. A stakes winner in late March of 2017 on the Tapeta surface at Turfway Park, he's dangerous if left alone on the lead in the first half-mile.

4th pick: #1 (Over Par) (4-1) - The gelding finished an even third facing a bit tougher going 6.5 furlongs June 15. It was his first in almost a year and Reddam home bred is dropping down, stretching out, and has the rail. Contender.
