Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MIGHTY MO) (6-1) - Longshot is racing for the first time since Feb.25. Lightly-raced son of 'Uncle Mo' was beaten a length at this level and distance that afternoon at Gulfstream park. Four-year-old probably was best as he had all sorts of traffic issues turning for home. Working steadily on the training track at Saratoga and he has a good shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #5 (Roman Approval) (7-2) - The main speed, veteran is dropping back down in class and is shortening back up in distance. He's finished first or second in half of his 26 starts on the grass and is four for seven here at Belmont. An obvious contender.

3rd pick: #11 (Turbo Street) (4-1) - Rare Austarilian import rallied to finish second here at this level going seven furlongs June 2. It was his first race in just over seven months and a career best overall. Trainer Mark Casse has worked him three times since and stretches him out in distance.

4th pick: #7 (Arghad) (12-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old is shortening up in distance following a pair of back-to-back even efforts at this level going 10 furlongs. Longshot could easily factor with just a slight move forward.
