Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ACCELERATE) (4-1) - Lightly-raced colt just missed when debuting at this level going six furlongs at Los Alamitos April 17. $380,000 purchase was away slowly here in his follow up start May 22 and could only check in an even fourth. Working fast since, the additional furlong is a plus and he can win this with an alert getaway.

2nd pick: #3 (Vinz Clortho) (7-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied to miss by a 1/2 length here at this level May 22. Well backed in both appearances, he has blinkers added and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.

3rd pick: #4 (Uninvited) (5-1) - From the Baffert barn, colt is shortening up in distance for his first since March 25. Competitive several times at this level going longer, he's working fast for his return and has Bejarano aboard.

4th pick: #5 (Bollywod) (8-1) - Also from the Baffert barn, $700K son of 'Bernardini' hasn't raced since late may of 2015. Working fast and it's noted that Mike Smith is interested.
