Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (VYJACK) (3-1) - His career has been revived since this once promising sort was switched to the grass 13 months ago. He's gone 5-1-2-1 since then and makes his West Coast debut off a private trainer change to Phil D'Amato. He has him working very fast and this now 6-year-old gets the call.

2nd pick: #1 (Toowindytohaulrox) (10-1) - Longshot has some early speed and breaks from the rail. Steady sort stretches out in distance following a second place finish in a 6.5 furlong grass stakes at Santa Anita June 5. Price play is racing second back off a 5.5 month layoff and is two-for-four at this mile distance in the past.

3rd pick: #3 (Lieutenant Colonel) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Jerry Holendorfer, he has him making his grass debut in this spot. Speed/stalker is in career best form on the dirt and is dangerous if he handles the turf.

4th pick: #4 (Little Curlin) (8-1) - The second of the Hollendorfer pair, he's improved overall over the past year and has gone 4-1-0-2 in his previous grass starts. Stalker can factor at a square price with his "A" game.
