Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (MORE THAN USUAL) (2-1) - The colt drops and is stretching back out for the high percentage barn of Saffie Joseph, Jr. Even-paced in his last pair, this 3yo has some speed, is facing a very weak group here, and he should break his maiden with a trouble-free break and a clean trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Gran Champagne) (10-1) - Lightly raced grey gelding had a rough trip when beaten almost seven lengths for a $16K tag on April 24. It was his first on the grass, a positive effort, and he has ample room for upside.
3rd pick: #4 (Ima Coalman) (6-1) - He rallied while extremely wide to check-in 6th of 12, beaten by just over six lengths at this level and distance April 9. It was his first race since July 20, and he should be much fitter for this contest.
4th pick: #5 (Mountain Tree) (20-1) - This longshot ran evenly at this distance for a $16K tag last out. Well-bred 3yo may grab a share at a big price if the pace is fast and/or contested.
5th pick: #9 (Consilium) (8-1) - He's switching to the grass after finishing 2nd in four of his last six starts on the dirt. The colt has some early speed and may hold down a share if able to switch his main track form to the lawn.
