Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NOMINAL DOLLARS) (5-2) - With this race switching to the main track, this lightly raced gelding is the top choice. He's been competitive in three straight in Kentucky on the dirt and is from a good barn (Joe Sharp). The top pick.

2nd pick: #6 (Araqeel) (4-1) - He's taking a big drop in class, is cutting back in distance, and trainer Chad Brown is racing him on the dirt for the firs time. Grey gelding by "Tapit' is in good form on the turf and is a win threat if he handles the main track.

3rd pick: #3 (Shootout) (3-1) - Freshened up since May 20, he broke his maiden that day going seven furlongs on the Belmont grass. Competitive in four straight on the dirt prior to that, and he must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Mid Ocean) (6-1) - On the sidelines since late November, no speed type has a good closing kick, and has run well facing tougher several times in the past on the main track. Stretch threat if ready.
