Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SYNDERGAARD) (2-1) - A stakes winner here as a 2yo last August, he has sharp early speed, and is taking on older foes for the first time. Colt has been freshened up since finishing 2nd at Belmont in a $125K stakes going seven furlongs May 29. Working steadily on the local training track, he draws outside of the other pace, and that gives him an edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Nobody Move) (5-1) - Strong finisher won at this level going 6.5 furlongs at Belmont May 13. He's rallied to finish 2nd in a pair of follow up starts and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
3rd pick: #4 (Saratoga Giro) (8-1) - He's won seven of 16 starts sprinting on the dirt, and speed/stalker finished 2nd here a year ago facing similar types. Working fast at Finger Lakes for his first race since March 12, he can factor at a square price if ready with his best.
4th pick: #8 (Cause for Surprise) (8-1) - Much improved of late, he's making his first start since May 28 when he won a first-level allowance for fellow state breds at Belmont. Dangerous from close range if ready.
