Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1a (SEIZE) (8-5) - He's part of an entry with #1 'Commend,' and both have a strong shot at winning this. This son of 'War Front' missed by a 'head' when debuting here at this level and distance last November. Working well for his return, and lasix is added his come-backer.

2nd pick: #7 (Art Boss) (6-1) - Colt moves to the turf after finishing a pace-setting 2nd here at this level and distance on the dirt May 22. That gives him a recency edge on 'Seize,' and this son of 'Street Boss' is bred to handle the grass.

3rd pick: #5 (Rate for Me) (4-1) - Gelding checked in a solid 3rd here at this level going seven furlongs on he grass May 22. It was his first ever on the turf and second back from a 4.5-month layoff. It earned him a very lofty 'figure' for a maiden, and it's noted that John Velazquez is aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #4 (Kabang) (5-1) - On the sidelines since late July, he was competitive in four straight on the dirt leading up to the long layoff. 4yo by 'Tapit' cost $425,000 and is training above average at Fair Hill. Colt makes his turf debut and is bred to like the lawn.
