Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (HIZEEM) (2-1) - One of two entered by leading trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding recovered following an awkward break to finish second when debuting at this level going 7 furlongs at Belmont June 14. Working both frequently and well above average, Brown (27% second time out) stretches him out in distance (28%). $240K 3yo by 'City Zip' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1a (Frontier Market) (7-5) - The other from trainer Chad Brown, he's finished second in three straight and has been beaten no more than a 1/2 length in that trio. In shape, a strong factor, and he gives the barn a big hand to play in this contest.
3rd pick: #8 (Piantagrane) (8-1) - On the sidelines since Feb. 18, $200K colt by 'Scat Daddy' finished a pace-setting second that day going 9 furlongs at this level at Gulfstream Park. Working fast locally, he looks next best and can factor if ready.
