Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ENGAGE) (8-5) - Very consistent colt has been freshened up since finishing second of 11, beaten just over a length going 7 furlongs in Belmont's Woody Stephen Stakes (G2) June 9. A maiden winner here in early September, $550,000 son of 'Into Mischief' has gone 6-3-3-0 overall, is 2-for-2 on wet tracks and enters off a sharp half-mile breeze July 7 at Belmont.

2nd pick: #1 (Barry Lee) (12-1) - Longshot ships from Kentucky where he tired to finish third facing older rivals in a 7- furlong contest at Churchill Downs June 23. It was his second back following 6 1/2 months on the sidelines and stalker has been working very fast here for this attempt. Think he'll be competitive at a big price.

3rd pick: #5 (Strike Power) (5-1) - Son of 'Speightstown' has been freshened up since finishing 11 lengths behind 'Engage' in a G2 at Belmont June 9. Very quick from the gate, he's working fast for his return, and is dangerous if ready.
