Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BIRDSONG) (3-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, grey colt ships in from Kentucky where he broke his maiden at this distance June 26 at Churchill Downs. Whitney home bred by 'Unbridled's Song' is working fast locally, and this colt has plenty of room for upside.

2nd pick: #1 (Evolution) (7-2) - Speedy gelding has gone 4-2-1-1 since moving to the barn of Dave Cannizzo this past winter. He's won from both on and just off the lead and should be involved every step from his inside post.

3rd pick: #6 (Potando) (5-1) - Another that's been lightly raced, he finished 2nd June 26 at Belmont racing at this level and distance. Race was his first on the East Coast, and he's been training above average since.

4th pick: #5 (Entertainer) (8-1) - Stakes placed twice this year at this trip, strong finisher ships from Churchill where he ran poorly June 19. It was his first back off a seven-week break, and stretch runner should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
