Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SILVER MOJAVE) (7-2) - Veteran mare has fourteen minor awards to go along with her single victory. However, she has a stalking style that fits well with these and 6-year-old has finished third in three of five starts at this abbreviated distance (five furlongs) on the grass. Gets the edge, but make sure you box your exactas.
2nd pick: #5 (Sharaun) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old ships from Golden Gate Fields where she won at this distance on the grass May 19 racing for a $40K tag. It was by far a career best and trainer Jery Hollendorfer has Raf Bejarano aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #8 (Moonie) (5-1) - Reddam home bred quickly moves back to the grass following a poor effort on the Santa Anita dirt July 1. Stalker is better on the infield and is trying this shorter trip for the first time. Four-year-old can factor if able to avoid a wide trip.
4th pick: #4 (Surfing the Menu) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced mare is very fast from the gate. She's won two of three this year on the dirt and was only beaten a 'head' in her lone defeat. In shape, working fast, this is her first ever on the grass. A strong win threat if she handles the new surface.
