Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RECESS) (2-1) - This filly stopped to a walk last out racing here facing tougher on a sloppy track May 5 in a contest that was taken 'off the turf.' She had finished close up on the Aqueduct grass in her previous start, and this afternoon trainer Todd Pletcher is dropping her into a claimer. That move has given him 22 wins in 57 starts in 2018-19, and he has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (She's Not Bluffing) (8-1) - She raced both wide and greenly when finishing a distant 4th here at this level going six furlongs May 10. It was a useful first grass attempt, and trainer Bob Falcone, Jr. is stretching her out in distance (three for his last eight, 38%).

3rd pick: #11 (Rossellini) (5-1) - A lightly raced 3yo, she raced very wide and evenly when finishing 9th of 11, beaten nine lengths here at this trip facing tougher May 19. She's back on a quick turnaround (14 days) and drops into a claimer, a 23% winning move by Bill Mott.

4th pick: #10 (Crater Rim) (6-1) - Veteran mare has early speed and has been competitive several times here in the past at this level. This 5yo meets a weak field and is capable of factoring with her 'A' game.
