Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HIGHLAND SKY) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt stretches out in distance after missing by a 'nose' here going 8.5 furlongs May 20. Stakes winner missed by a 'neck' here at this distance last July in the $1,000,000 Belmont Turf Derby (G1). Home bred will be tough to beat in this spot.

2nd pick: #2 (Red Rifle) (5-1) - Stalker has been freshened up since an even effort April 22 in the G2 Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland. He had just missed at this level March 10 at Gulfstream in his first start since July 1. From the Pletcher barn, believe he can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #1 (Street Fashion) (8-1) - Longshot has fine early speed and breaks from the rail. Augustin home bred tired in a G3 at Churchill Downs May 20 in his first start in seven months. Consistent sort should be involved every step at a big price.

4th pick: #4 (Artie's Silver Mine) (8-1) - Barn (Brian Lynch) has been doing well here over the past two weeks. He sends out this long winded type by grass specialist 'Arie Schiller.' He's dropping down a bit after finishing a close up fourth here facing tougher May 20. Working fast since and he runs with blinkers on for the first time.
