Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (JUNGER) (4-1) - He's had a lot of chances (17-times on the grass) to break his maiden, but has been competitive several times in the past facing tougher fields than this. On the sidelines since Dec 5, 5-year-old is training fast for his return. His latest a.m. move was a near bullet half-mile breeze here May 9 (second best of 105 at the distance that morning).

2nd pick: #9 (Fleeting Gold) (5-1) - Stalker has been competitive all four times when racing for a claiming price on the dirt. He's bred to handle the grass and draws a nice outside post at this seven furlong distance.

3rd pick: #7 (Shootout) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's finished close up in four straight starts on the dirt going a mile or longer. One-run type is shortening up a bit and is another trying the turf for the first time.

4th pick: #8 (Sax Change) (8-1) - Un-raced since Feb 11, he's back with his original trainer (Gary Contessa) and last summer/fall this grey colt was competitive in four straight on the turf facing tougher. However, his form has gone sour since then and he's back on the grass for the first time since Nov 29. Can factor with his best.
