Top pick: #11 (I SEE A SHARK) - He's bred to handle the grass and this gelding will be trying the infield for the first time. He moves back in with state-bred allowance company after rallying to finish second here sprinting on the dirt for $10K. In a winning barn (Ralph Martinez) and 4-year-old gets the call in a tough race.
2nd pick: #5 (Bet On Buddy) - Lightly raced and improving, he was an impressive maiden winner sprinting on the dirt May 25th. Trainer Gary Patrick moves him to the turf and stretches him out in distance for his first facing winners.
3rd pick: #9 (Frans Deputy) - Bred for the turf, he had a very wide trip last out sprinting on the dirt, but had finished fourth in his previous pair at this level. Never tires and that should lead to a competitive effort this afternoon.
4th pick: #7 (X Playboy) - Drops and goes turf to dirt in this attempt. He has previous grass experience and should be effective at a nice price today.
