Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MOONLIGHT DRIVE) (6-1) - Rare Italian import raced evenly when debuting in France in June of 2015. Since then, he's gone 7-2-3-2 and is 3-1-1-1 since coming to No. America. He has good positional speed, is working fast, and gets a slight edge in a wide open contest.

2nd pick: #2 (Blackjackcat) (8-1) - Very lightly raced, he's two for two since switching to the grass in his second start. Speedy gelding has earned high 'figures' in both races and is working fast. He's a serious threat to go wire-to-wire at a big price.

3rd pick: #8 (Monster Bea) (5-1) - Strong finisher has been very sharp in four straight racing on the grass. A stakes winner here early in the meet, gelding must be left in the win mix.

4th pick: #3 (Mr Roary) (30-1) - Big longshot has more early speed than most and draws a good inside post to use it from. Gelding by 'Scat Daddy' is capable of impacting at a big price.

5th pick: #1 (Gold Rush Dancer) (10-1) - Cal bred moves in with open company and enters on a three-race winning streak. Two of those are on the grass, and stalker has a great ground saving post.
