Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ZINNY'S MIRACLE) (7-2) - Grey colt stretches out in distance and moves from dirt to turf in his second start. He broke poorly here when debuting in a main track sprint June 1, but did well to check in 4th of nine, beaten three lengths. Bred for the grass, this winning barn (Sam David) has leading rider Tim Thornton aboard for this assignment.
2nd pick: #5 (Simba's Pride) (4-1) - $180,000 colt by 'Animal Kingdom' is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Competitive in only one of five facing tougher, he should be a major factor on the big drop in class.
3rd pick: #6 (Carl's Glory) (8-1) - Lightly raced gelding ran evenly here facing a bit tougher going a mile in his first on the grass May 11. It was an improvement one, off his debut on the dirt April 28, and he's a threat here at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (From Now On) (5-2) - Competitive in his last pair on the local dirt, stretch runner is moving up in class while making his first start on the grass since early October. 3yo must be left in the mix.
