Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SEEKING ALPHA) (2-1) - Colt has early speed and has run well on the main track in the past. Trained by Chad Brown this $385,000 son of 'Medaglia d' Oro' will be tough to beat in a contest that was moved off the grass.
2nd pick: #5 (Contradict) (3-1) - He's dropping into a claimer for the first time and switching from turf to dirt. He finished second at Belmont Oct 1 in an off the turf race on a track labeled 'good.' He should factor again in this spot.
3rd pick: #9 (Bluegrass Rye) (4-1) - Home bred enters in sharp form racing on the grass. He's finished third in three of his last four and earlier in his career he showed some early speed in a pair of races on the main track.
4th pick: #3 (Refer) (10-1) - Lightly-raced colt is racing for the first time since May 31. Even-paced type finished second on a sloppy surface at Penn National March 14 and has worked a half-dozen times in the past month in preparation for his return to action.
