Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TIME TO FLIRT) (7-2) - Filly missed by a 'nose' here at this tag going a mile May 10. Lightly raced, it was her first in two months after a pair of good starts at the Fair Grounds facing tougher. Trainer Brad Cox is five for 10 (50%) at the meet, and this daughter of 'Flatter' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (True Love Is Yare) (3-1) - From the barn of Chad Brown, filly raced evenly when debuting at this distance facing a bit tougher at Aqueduct April 12. Brown (28% second time out) drops her into a claimer (36%) and has Javier Castellano replacing Franco.

3rd pick: #1 (Veil) (4-1) - Stretch runner rallied to finish 3rd May 10 while 1.5-lengths behind 'Time to Flirt.' It was her first in a claimer, and trainer 'Shug' McGaughey has her making back-to-back starts for the first time.

4th pick: #9 (Ransom Kitty) (12-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since early November. Trainer Michelle Nevin (seven for 29, 24%, at the meet) drops her in class and moves her to the turf for the first time. Bred for the surface, 3yo worked a bullet five furlongs on the Saratoga training track June 8.
