Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (SOUTHERN UNION) (5-1) - Price play has improved since trainer Bruce Brown moved him to the grass for his last two starts. Gelding rallied to finish 2nd here at this tag and trip May 21 and has worked three times since. One-run type draws a good outside post for this trip and leading rider Jose Ortiz is aboard.

2nd pick: #7 (Majority) (6-1) - Speed/stalker set a brisk pace with a big lead before weakening to finish third here at this tag going 8.5 furlongs May 21. It was his first race in two months and first on the grass since last September.

3rd pick: #3 (Brett the Jet) (4-1) - Gelding is racing second back from a six month layoff and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He raced evenly here going six furlongs facing tougher May 28 and is dangerous on the class drop.

4th pick: #5 (The Undersheriff) (7-2) - Speedy sort is another that's dropping into a claimer for the first time. He tired last out while racing a bit erratically but was much sharper in his previous race. Can't be eliminated.

5th pick: #9 (Lucky Town) (20-1) - Very lightly-raced, he was competitive here at this tag going six furlongs in an 'off the turf' contest May 30. Barn moves him to the grass and this $85K purchase is bred to like the surface switch. May grab a share at long odds.
