Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HOUSE OF FRIENDS) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt rallied to finish second at this claiming price going six furlongs at Belmont Park June 25. It was his first on the grass and son of 'Include' had some serious traffic issues or he may have won that day. Gets the edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Irish Hope) (5-1) - The main speed, he broke sharply, set a quick pace, then weakened to check in a close up third in the same last race as 'House of Friends.' He was two lengths behind that rival in what was his first ever on the turf.
3rd pick: #3 (Not So Quiet Man) (10-1) - Longshot ships up from Monmouth where he raced evenly facing open company special weights. He's worked fast since and has been competitive at this level several times in the past. His low-profile human connections guarantee a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Secret Scholar) (12-1) - Another longshot, he has speed/stalking ability and is racing second back off a seven week break. Four-year-old is capable of getting a share of this at a big price.
