Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MERCURIAN) (8-5) - Filly has won two in a row at this meet and races today first off a John Toscano Jr. claim. Stalker won going 6.5 furlongs for a $25K tag last out and her new connections bring her back quickly while moving her up a bit in price for her first at this 3l condition.
2nd pick: #5 (Simona) (5-2) - Blinkers go on filly who is dropping down, switching from turf to dirt, and is shortening back up in distance. She missed by a 1/2 length two back sprinting on the main track at Aqueduct for a $40K tag and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (My Ligthning Strike) (7-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Mineshaft' is another dropping down and switching from grass to dirt. She enters off a good effort sprinting on the local turf facing tougher May 11 and it's noted that she broke her maiden by nine lengths on the Aqueduct dirt at this distance March 3.
4th pick: #1 (Velvet Trinni) (10-1) - The main speed, longshot tired badly facing tougher on the grass last out. She has the rail, drops to a new low, and will take them as far as she can on the front end.
