Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (STRAIGHTAWAY MAY) (2-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old has the best early speed and is dropping to a new low in claiming price for his first race since April 21. He's finished close up in all four starts two each on grass and dirt. Working fast locally and he enters off a very sharp half-mile breeze June 23.

2nd pick: #1 (Thirsty Actor) (7-2) - Gelded son of 'Bernardini' has been competitive in three of his last four since coming off almost a two month freshening March 24. Stretch runner draws a ground-saving post and should be making up ground in the final furlong.

3rd pick: #4 (Read My Lips) (5-2) - NEW gelding raced very wide when finishing three lengths in back of 'Thirsty Actor' June 3. He draws a better post and the additional furlong he travels today is a plus. He worked fast here June 23 and 3-year-old must be left in the mix.
