Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (WEEKEND HOTTIE) (3-1) - Mare rallied to miss by a length here at this level and distance May 20. It was her first start in a half-year and first off a private trainer change to Dave Donk. 5yo has worked twice on the training track at Saratoga since her latest and Irad Ortiz, Jr. sticks with her.
2nd pick: #2 (Scarlet Jo Hansen) (10-1) - Longshot is dropping into a claimer for the first time. $100K purchase has been freshened up since April 14 when she tired facing tougher at Aqueduct in her grass debut. Along with the drop, blinkers go on and she drops seven pounds with apprentice Diaz aboard. Win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #1 (Thin Dress) (5-1) - Speedy filly held down the place spot to a daylight winner here May 29 in a contest that was switched to the main track. 4yo has the rail, early speed, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Freckle de Freck) (7-2) - She has a record similar to 'Weekend Hottie.' Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in two straight here at this level and distance and has been much improved since coming off a 2.5-month break May 4.
