Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (AWESOME ANTHONY) (8-1) - Longshot has been sharp in both starts at this level since coming back from a pair of short layoffs April 15. Stalker is in career best shape and trainer Jim Ryerson has Jose Ortiz aboard for the first time, a clear sign that they like this one's chances.
2nd pick: #5 (Honor and Pleasure) (6-1) - Speedy gelding enters off a pace-setting second place finish here at this tag and trip May 17. By far a career best, it was his first racing with lasix. He should be in this from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #8 (Royal Ridge) (10-1) - Price play was only beaten four lengths last out and his chances were greatly compromised when he broke through the gate before the start. Castellano stays put and trainer Gary Contessa has this 4-year-old home bred headed in the right direction.
4th pick: #10 (O Captainmycaptain) (4-1) - Debuting 3-year-old cost $75K and runs first out for $40,000. In a great turf barn of Chris Clement and he has Irad Ortiz Jr interested.
5th pick: #9 (Captain Kitt) (15-1) - Longshot enters off a pair of wide trips where he finished within range. He wasn't far off either 'Honor and Pleasure' or 'Awesome Anthony' last out and may grab a share at a huge price with a better journey.
