Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (LAW ABIDIN CITIZEN) (4-1) - This veteran is one of two entered by trainer Mark Glatt, who is having a career best meet 166-34-28-20 (20% winners). His stalking style fits the race, and he's stretching out in distance for this attempt. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Sharp Samurai) (2-1) - A multiple stakes winner, he's the second of the Mark Glatt trained pair. He finished a close up 4th here in the G1 Shoemaker Mile here May 27 in his first start since Oct. 6. The probable favorite, this 5yo has won five of seven on the local turf and completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #5 (Bombard) (7-2) - This lightly raced 6yo runs today for the first time since July 22 of last year. Very consistent gelding by 'War Front' has won off of layoffs in the past and is 7-4-1-2 on the local grass.
4th pick: #3 (Snazzy Dresser) (10-1) - This longshot moves way up in class while seeking his third win in a row. The main speed, and though this is a tough spot, he may hold down a share at a big price.
