Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (VOLATILITY INDEX) (5-2) - Very lightly-raced filly set the pace and was caught in the final strides to miss by a 'neck' when racing at this level and distance April 19 at Aqueduct. Only her second start, she had broken her maiden in impressive style when making her debut at the same trip Jan. 16 at Gulfstream park. Trainer Chad Brown had her work four times at Saratoga during May and she'll be tough to beat in this spot.

2nd pick: #2 (Church Social) (7-2) - Strong finisher rallied from far back to miss by a 'neck' April 28 at Keeneland racing at this condition going nine furlongs. Daughter of 'Pulpit' earned a career best figure that afternoon and is a stretch threat in this spot.

3rd pick: #4 (Lido) (4-1) - Godolphin home bred is another with a strong finishing kick. Lightly-raced 3-year-old rallied to break her maiden by a 'nose' going a bit longer April 8 at Keeneland and has unlimited potential at this time.

4th pick: #8 (Zuzanna) (12-1) - One of two multiple winners entered, she's won three of her six starts and was competitive in her three defeats. Stalker was an easy winner here for a $40,000 price tag May 17. Claimed that afternoon by Gary Contessa, this 3-year-old draws a good post and can grab a share at long odds.
