Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HONEYHASDAMUNNINGS) (7-2) - Even-paced grey gelding stretches out in distance for the first time. Racing back into shape following a 4.5 month layoff, he's in a winning barn (Marc Zulueta). Trainer scores at a solid 35% clip on the stretch out angle and this 4-year-old meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #3 (Playmetheblues) (2-1) - It's always a tough call on these Woodbine shippers. No-speed type drops in class and fits from a figure angle if he handles the sloppy going. This is his first ever on anything than the all weather surface they race on there.
3rd pick: #1 (Sassy Defender) (8-1) - Old timer draws a ground saving post and newly turned 8-year-old has a good record on 'off' tracks at 4-1-1-2. Stretch runner should be finishing fast against a sub par group for the level.
