Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CONQUEST SMARTEE) (2-1) - Lightly raced and expensive ($390,000) colt has been sharp in both starts at this meet. One run type finished 2nd at this level and distance March 2, then was beaten two lengths when checking in 3rd under similar conditions June 3. He's worked three times for this attempt and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Milhaud) (5-2) - Speedy 5yo chased and held down the place spot racing here at this level and distance. It was a career best and his first ever on the grass. The horse that beat him last out scored again a week ago, and this lightly raced runner is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Placido) (7-2) - $250,000 purchase is making only his third start and first ever on the grass. He has some early speed and has run well in his first two on the dirt.
4th pick: #1 (Cascade Rock) (6-1) - Irish bred finished 4th following a slow start June 3. Longshot was only about three lengths behind 'Conquest Smartee' and is capable of impacting with an alert beginning.
