Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SAND CITY) (4-1) - This filly is moving from grass to dirt and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Very wide here sprinting on the turf June 9, it was her first race since Dec. 4. She finished 2nd here last fall in a pair on the dirt, and it's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Grassarla) (6-1) - Speed/stalker is another going turf to dirt. She chased while wide and held down the show spot at this level and distance on the grass June 16. 4yo moves to the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #3 (This Bird Can Sing) (9-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, 3yo has finished 2nd in five straight at this level on the dirt. She missed by a 'nose' going 6.5 furlongs here June 16, but in very slow time. An obvious win candidate, but a bit vulnerable at a short price.
4th pick: #6 (Tapceptional) (9-2) - Nice debut here May 11 saw her chase the pace and gamely hold down the place spot in a large field (12) facing a bit weaker. Grey 3yo filly can't be eliminated.
