Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TREE TOP LOVER) (5-2) - Lightly raced, he comes here from Arlington Park where he tired following a 'troubled' break facing tougher going a mile on the grass May 21. He's finished 2nd in both dirt sprints facing tougher and is dropping way down in class. Trainer Wesley Ward has veteran West Coast rider David Flores aboard as he's mounting a comeback after semi-retirement.

2nd pick: #3 (Biaviian) (4-1) - Gelding by 'Uncle Mo' chased and held down the place spot racing here at this tag going 6.5 furlongs June 5. He's worked fast since and should be involved from gate-to-wire.

3rd pick: #2 (Choir Director) (9-2) - A big disappointment since finishing 2nd when debuting here 12.5 months ago, he's been freshened up since April 1. Working very fast at Saratoga, trainer Nick Zito drops him into a claimer, and shortens him up in distance.

4th pick: #6 (Thomas Knight) (15-1) - Longsot is racing third back from an one-month layoff and showed an improved run in his second off the long layoff. Fits with his best, he could grab a small slice at a big price.
