Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (STOP THINKING) (2-1) - Filly raced both wide and evenly when finishing a distant third when debuting here going 8.5 furlongs on the grass for a $40K tag at this state bred condition April 27. Trainer Danny Gargan switches her to the dirt, drops her a bit, and is adding blinkers. She meets a weak field and gets top billing.

2nd pick: #2 (Forever Rising) (4-1) - Even-paced type finished a non-threatening fourth at this level and distance April 18 at Aqueduct. Nicely bred filly has had her best efforts on 'off' tracks and daughter of 'Ghostzapper' is dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #6 (Carlisle Belle) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Gary Sciacca and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly-raced 4-years-old by 'Macho Uno' tired on the grass here at this trip April 27 in her second back following a two month freshening. It's noted that her best ever came when finishing a pace-pressing third at this level and distance Feb. 10 at Aqueduct. Must be left in the mix.
