Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (POCKET BOOK) (3-1) - Filly ships from Keeneland where she tired after setting a pressured pace April 18 at this level and distance on the dirt. She's finished second in two of four grass sprints and she gets s very small edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Miss Monk) (5-2) - Blinkers go on lightly-raced home bred by 'Blame.' Three-year-old has been freshened up since a pair of good efforts earlier this year at Gulfstream going longer. An obvious contender.

3rd pick: #7 (Sansibar Jewel) (5-1) - Originaly raced in Ireland filly was in a world class barn (Dermot Weld) at that time. She tired badly here going a mile on the dirt May 4 and is back on the grass in her third back from an 8.5 month layoff. Think she'll factor at a square price.

4th pick: #1 (Malarkey) (4-1) - Filly switches to the grass after finishing second here at this level and distance on the dirt May 6. She has early speed, is bred for turf success, and Irad Ortiz Jr stays aboard.
