Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (QUASAR) (2-1) - A $250,000 daughter of 'Orb,' she rallied to finish 2nd here at this level and distance May 4, a contest that was taken 'off the turf.' She's had wide trips in both starts since coming from England and gets a slight edge today from her rail post.
2nd pick: #3 (Concerned) (5-2) - One of four making their debuts, this filly by 'Scat Daddy' sold for $225,000 as a 2yo in training in March of last year. The filly has been working fast at Monmouth and enters this off a sharp half-mile gate breeze June 15. Trainer Mark Hennig is capable first out (14%), and this 3yo is a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (Able to Smile) (9-2) - Well backed when debuting on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields April 13, she had all sorts of trouble at the start and was never involved. This $385K filly by Into Mischief' has come cross-country and has some changes today. She has a new trainer, Mike Stidham (22% with new arrivals), he switches her to the dirt, and she has Joel Rosario aboard.
