Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SEA BEE SALUTE) (5-2) - Well bred colt finished second here at this level and distance when sprinting on the grass June 21. Back on a quick turnaround, he gets top billing in a contest that's been taken 'off the turf'.
2nd pick: #1a (Uncle Ugly) (7-2) - He's making his third start and showed an improved effort last out when finishing third sprinting on the grass. He was just over a length in back of 'Sea Bee Salute' and should be competitive on the dirt.
3rd pick: #4 (Too Much Bourbon) (3-1) - This gelding tired to finish a distant fourth after dueling for the lead with the eventual daylight winner when debuting here at this level and distance June 8. Heavily bet that day, he's worked fast since and Tim Thornton stays aboard.
4th pick: #7 (Custom Kat) (6-1) - He's tired in both starts after flashing early speed. Gelding was 6 lengths behind 'Too Much Bourbon' when debuting June 8, then was beaten by both 'Sea Bee Salute' and 'Uncle Ugly' in his follow up June 2. At this point a minor award is his ceiling.
