Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (NEOLITHIC) (6-5) - By far the 'class' of the field, he's working fast for his first start since March 25. He finished a respectable 3rd that day to 'Arrowgate' in the $10,000,000 Dubai World Cup (Group 1) at Meydan in the U.A.E. From the Pletcher barn, he should beat these if ready.

2nd pick: #1 (Bolita Boyz) (15-1) - Longshot moves up in class following a 2nd place finish facing weaker at Belmont June 23. It was his first ever on the East Coast and first for trainer Bob Diodoro. He has the rail and can factor in the exacta at a big price.

3rd pick: #3 (Realm) (8-1) - He's been very much sub par in all three starts since coming back from a two-month break in early May. Stakes placed several times, he's won here in the past, and enters off a swift half-mile bullet breeze here July 27.

4th pick: #5 (Warrior's Club) (20-1) - Another longshot, he's best at this distance, and has a bit more early speed than most entered. May hold down a share at a very big price.
