Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (ELEGANT GEM) (3-1) - Filly drops in class and shortens up in distance in her second back following a 4.5 month layoff. She tired while wide going a mile in her return facing tougher April 15 at Aqueduct and in her only previous attempt at this $40K price tag she finished second here Oct. 26.
2nd pick: #1 (Emblazoner) (5-1) - One of four fillies making their debuts, she's been working fast for a capable first out barn of Jeremiah Engelhart (16%). Three-year-old breezed a bullet half-mile from the gate here April 7 and that was the best out of 83 at the distance that morning.
3rd pick: #5 (Scatback) (6-1) - Long shot has a bit of sped and has been competitive in two of three on the grass. All came in sprints facing tougher and daughter of 'Scat Daddy' must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (I Like Your Style) (12-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old moves up in class while racing on the grass for the first time. She has some speed, has been competitive in one of two on the dirt, and she's bred to like the surface change. Filly is an uncoupled barn-mate of 'Emblazoner' and is dangerous at a big price.
