Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (LET'S GET LOUD) (3-1) - Home bred by 'More Than Ready' is making only his third start. He rallied to lose by just under two lengths sprinting on the Belmont turf facing tougher June 14. It was his first since debuting here in late August of last year. Leading trainer Chad Brown drops him into a claimer (36%) while stretching him out in distance (28%).

2nd pick: #4 (My Man Jax) (5-1) - Colt has been freshened up since late April when he missed by just under a length at Keeneland at this mile distance facing tougher. He's in a good barn (Brad Cox) and is a threat down the stretch.

3rd pick: #6 (Harlan's Hunch) (6-1) - The main speed, he enters of a pace-setting 2nd place finish at this $75K tag and mile trip at Belmont July 8. It was his first following a Steve Asmussen claim, and this gelding by 'Harlan's Holiday' should be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.

4th pick: #5 (Herecomesyourman) (9-2) - He enters off a career best at Belmont June 15. Grey gelding was involved every step while missing by a 'nose' racing at this tag going a bit longer. Well bred, he must be left in the mix.
