Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (JAVELIN) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has been sharp in both career starts. $190,000 son of 'Mineshaft' chased and held down the place spot here at this level and distance on a sloppy surface May 13. He's worked three times since, has the rail, and John Velazquez is aboard for the first time. Gets a slight edge in a very deep field.

2nd pick: #7 (Zap Zap Zap) (5-1) - He's finished second in both starts at this meet, one at this trip when debuting April 30 and the latest going 8.5 furlongs May 19. Well bred and improving, he has a shot at a square price.

3rd pick: #8 (Mr Crow) (3-1) - One of two making their debuts, he's bred for speed and is from the barn of Todd Pletcher (23% first out). His latest was a near bullet half-mile from the gate on the Saratoga training track June 15.

4th pick: #2 (Wonderful Light) (6-1) - Colt raced evenly when debuting here May 13. He was five lengths in back of 'Javelin' that afternoon and received some betting support. Working fast since and it's noted that Jose Ortiz stays with him.
