Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BIG CHAMPION) (3-1) - Lightly raced 3yo moves back in with maidens and is racing on the grass for the first time. Speed/stalker finished 2nd here on the dirt facing winners Oct. 1st and earned the highest figure of this field. He can win this if he likes the grass.
2nd pick: #7 (Sixes) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate, he hasn't raced since March 12. Working fast, he fits if ready, and Bejarano is aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #2 (Elegant Street) (15-1) - Longshot is nearing his sixth birthday, so he really has no room for upside. Stalker is going dirt to turf and has been competitive on the grass in the past. Can get a share at a big price.
4th pick: #6 (Storm the Shore) (6-1) - The main speed, he's been tiring on the dirt on a regular basis. His one grass race wasn't bad, and he'll take them as far as he can.
5th pick: #3 (Papa Royale) (5-1) - 3yo is working fast for his first since an even effort when debuting at a mile on the grass Aug. 25th at Del Mar. Can factor with normal second out improvement.
