Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BRINKLEY) (3-1) - Speedy filly is stretching out beyond six-furlongs for the first time. She's won both grass sprints since coming off an almost six month layoff March 12. Latest saw her rally from close range to win an entry-level allowance going 5.5 furlongs on the Keeneland grass April 14. With Luis Saez out of town at Pimlico, trainer Todd Pletcher has leading rider Jose Ortiz aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Lightstream) (7-5) - The probable favorite, she's won both starts with ease racing at this distance on the dirt. She won her debut at Gulfstream Park March 6, then rallied to take the Beaumont Stakes (G3) at Keeneland April 17. Bred to handle the grass and an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Welcoming) (8-1) - Longshot was an impressive winner at Aqueduct when going a mile on the dirt facing weaker April 6. It was her first start in five months and stretch runner is another racing on the grass for the first time. $520,000 daughter of 'Tapit' is a 'live' price play.
4th pick: #8 (Summer Reading) (8-1) - Filly ships from Churchill Downs where she tired going seven furlongs on the dirt in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes May 6. Speed/stalker is one of two running that has a win on the local turf. Dangerous at long odds with her 'A' game.
