Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CYPRIANO) (7-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, he's stretching out in distance while facing winners, both for the first time. He broke his maiden here going 6 furlongs April 26 in only his 2nd start and should have no problem handling today's longer distance.

2nd pick: #8 (Atlantic Ruler) (3-1) - Gelding raced evenly while not threatening when finishing 4th here at this level and distance May 16. No-speed type moves off the rail, has Tim Thornton staying aboard, and is racing 2nd back following an 8 week freshening.

3rd pick: #7 (Not Today Alfie) (8-1) - The 4yo is stretching out in distance while moving up in class. Gelding by 'Big Brown' broke his maiden here in wire-to-wire fashion going 7 furlongs for a $15K tag May 10 and the final time was solid (1:25.40). Think he'll be competitive at a big price.
