Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (D'ROCK) (4-1) - He finished 2nd in his local debut May 25 at this level and distance in a contest that was taken 'off the turf.' He raced evenly at Gulfstream in his first three grass attempts and gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #6 (Half of Tip Tap) (5-2) - Away since Jan. 31, speedy colt has been competitive in three straight, including his grass debut at the Fair Grounds Dec. 29. Well bred 3yo is a strong win candidate, and I could have easily made him the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Black Justice) (3-1) - Speedy 4yo moves to the grass after finishing a pace-setting 4th in a dirt sprint at this level and distance April 27. Competitive in the majority of his 12 starts and a serious player here if he takes to the lawn.
