Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PAY THE FINE) (3-1) - Consistent sort moves back to the dirt following an even 4th place finish here at this distance on the grass in a $100K stakes for fellow state breds May 28. Stalker had missed by a 'nose' in his previous start here on the dirt at this level and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Spirit Rules) (5-2) - Speedy veteran is cutting back in distance and switches back to the dirt. 7yo has tired in his last pair on the local grass and is a stakes winner sprinting on the dirt here in the past. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Texas Two Step) (5-2) - Strong finisher lacks any early speed and will need some help up front to make his late run count. Unless the pace is fast and/or contested, a minor award is his ceiling.
