Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (HAIL MICHIGAN) (3-1) - He was involved every step when missing by just under a length here at this level and distance. It was his first back off a two-month layoff, and he looks set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #2 (See the Pyramids) (9-2) - Well-bred colt switches from turf to dirt while taking a big drop in price. $190,000 son of 'Cairo Prince' is dangerous if he brings his grass form to the main track.
3rd pick: #6 (Voicesinthedarknez) (6-1) - This lightly raced gelding is another going turf to dirt, and his connections are halving him in price. State-bred enters off a pair of good works at the Palm Beach Downs Center and should be competitive today.
4th pick: #1 (Brand) (4-1) - Wide in his sprint debut, he then had traffic issues in his follow up at today's distance. Both of those came facing special weights, and this colt is dropping into a claimer for the first time.
5th pick: #10 (Texas Giant) (15-1) - He's raced evenly in both starts on the grass facing tougher and moves to the dirt for the first time for this one. Trainer Terri Pompay had a winner last weekend with the surface switch, and this gelding by 'Giant's Causeway' may grab a share at a big price.
