Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LADY ALEXANDRA) (3-1) - Filly was an easy 3.5 length winner here in a $100,000 stakes going 6 furlongs on this course April 29. It was her first starts since July 31 at Saratoga and earned her the highest Byer figure that any of these has everreached. Given almost a 6 week rest, she'll tough in this spot if able to avoid a possible 'bounce'.

2nd pick: #9 (I'm Betty G) (10-1) - The main speed, she defeated weaker here at this distance April 28. Four-year-old brings her best most every time, she draws a fine post at this trip and should be involved every step at a big price. With her last out rider Jose Ortiz opting for 'Lady Alexandra', Javier Castellano gets the assignment.

3rd pick: #10 (Stormy Victoria) (7-2) - Veteran mare rallied to finish second here to 'Lady Alexandra' April 29 and that should set her up perfectly for this longer distance. She's gone 6-3-2-1 here in the past, is a perfect 2-for-2 at this trip, and is a win candidate.

4th pick: #7 (Delecation) (9-2) - English bred ships from Kentucky where she rallied to finish fourth of 10, beaten 1.5 lengths in a 5 furlong G3 stakes May 4 at Churchill Downs facing males. It was her first race in 7 months and this 4-year-old kept some top company in Europe. Back in with her own sex and stretching out in distance, she must be left in the mix.
