Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BRITISH BULLDOG) (7-2) - Monmouth shipper has been competitive there in three straight racing at this level covering various distances. One-run type is shortening up in real estate and is racing at this seven furlong trip for the first time. The top selection, but make sure you reverse your exactas with him.
2nd pick: #2 (Fast Friar) (6-1) - One of four making their debuts, son of 'Girolamo' ships from Monmouth where he's been working bullets. Home bred is from the capable barn of John Mazza and he brings in J.J. Gonzales for the mount.
3rd pick: #1 (Djulpan) (5-2) - Colt is switching from turf to dirt and is stretching out in distance. He's finished third in both starts (3.5 months apart), one each on grass and dirt. Well bet in each, he's the morning line favorite but looks a bit vulnerable.
4th pick: #8 (Buzz With Alex) (12-1) - Longshot is racing of a 14 month break and has a new trainer (Ned Allard). NEW gelding showed some ability as a 2-year-old in 2015 and was bet in both starts at that time. Working nicely and a threat at a big price if ready.
