Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HEART TO HEART) (2-1) - Hard hitter ships from Kentucky where he finished a pace-setting second in the rich Maker's Mark Mile (G1) April 15 at Keeneland. Veteran has the best early speed, has the rail, and may go wire-to-wire against tis group.

2nd pick: #3 (Tourist) (5-2) - Stretch runner has been facing some of he best grass runners in the country the past eight months. He rallied to finish third, a bit over a length behind 'Heart to Heart' April 15, then ran fourth May 7 at Churchill Downs in their G1 Turf Classic. Dangerous in his spot.

3rd pick: #2 (Twentytwentyvision) (9-2) - Gelding revived his career when he was moved to the grass in April of 2015. One-run type has gone 6-3-3-0 since then and has been competitive in three straight stakes attempts. The faster the pace, the better his chances.

4th pick: #4 (Home Run Kitten) (5-1) - No-speed type fits with his best, but he may fall too far back in this rather paceless event to get anything more hat a small slice. Five-year-old by 'Kitten's Joy' definitely needs some pace help for his best.
