Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ELOY ROD) (9-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced, colt is facing winners for the first time. $50K purchase went wire-to-wire at this distance March 2 for a $20K tag to break his maiden. It was his first ever on the turf and he's worked fast since.
2nd pick: #8 (Dawn Raider) (5-1) - Gelding by 'Scat Daddy' cost $350,000 as a yearling back in 2015. He tired here in a dirt sprint for a $35K tag Feb. 24 in what was his first since July 6. This is his first ever on the grass and he has some fine works showing on the Palm Meadows turf course.
3rd pick: #5 (Saratoga Two Step) (8-1) - He broke slowly before rallying to finish fourth in a dirt sprint March 12. It was his first race since June 10 and he should factor in his grass debut.
