Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CLOONTIA) (8-5) - Lightly-raced, talented, and he's still improving. Speed/stalker faces winners for the first time after a wire-to-wire maiden win here at this distance June 15. He's worked three times since and can make it two in a row this afternoon.

2nd pick: #9 (E J''s Legacy) (5-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, gelding has been freshened up since May 20. He raced both wide and evenly that day facing a tough field and was beaten just over five lengths. Stakes placed on the dirt, he broke his maiden on the Aqueduct grass at this distance Nov 29.

3rd pick: #8 (Ode to the Hunt) (8-1) - His lack of any early speed has limited him to several minor awards racing at this level. Fits with his best, and son of grass champ 'Artie Schiller' would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop for him to close into.

4th pick: #5 (Timber) (15-1) - Blinkers go on and he's stretching out in distance. Lightly-raced 3-year-old raced evenly after a troubled break here June 17 going six furlongs at this level. It was his first ever on the grass and he can grab a share at a big price.
