Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MICRORITHMS) (2-1) - He was an easy wire-to-wire winner when debuting at this distance June 17 at Santa Anita. In the Baffert barn, 3yo faces a much tougher field, but he earned a big figure first out, and has plenty of room for upside.

2nd pick: #7 (Junior Gilliam) (5-1) - Nick Alexander home bred was beaten by three lengths at this level and distance June 17 at Santa Anita. It was his first start since April 1, and colt was away poorly from the rail. Working fast since, he draws a much better outside post for this attempt.

3rd pick: #4 (Mr Opportunist) (6-1) - Colt drops in class and moves back to the dirt following an even effort facing tougher on the Santa Anita lawn June 2. Capable on the dirt, he appears set for a competitive try.

4th pick: #3 (What'sontheagenda) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, and this 3yo will be the bigger price of the pair. Very fast from the gate, he's racing third back from a pair of layoffs. Working swiftly, his early foot makes him a bit dangerous at a long odds.
