Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (VENN) (5-2) - This lightly raced 4yo gelding moves to the grass following a pair of solid 2nd place finishes on the dirt. The latest came here at this distance in an 'off the turf' contest June 10, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Arctic Rose) (2-1) - He's been competitive in five of 10n starts and showed some ability last August in a pair of starts on the grass at Colonial Downs. This speedy sort is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Les Paul) (4-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he rallied to miss by 4.5 lengths here June 13 on the grass in his first race in three months. No speed type is back in 18 days and must be left in the mix.
