Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BEA BEA) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly by 'City Zip' raced both evenly and wide when finishing 5th of 11, beaten just under five lengths racing here at this level and distance April 29. It was her first start in five months and she can win this with a bit of improvement.

2nd pick: #5 (Town Fair) (9-2) - Very lightly-raced and well bred, she rallied to finish third, just under a length better than 'Bea Bea' April 29. Only her second lifetime start, it was her first ever on the turf. Daughter of 'Speightstown' is an obvious threat.

3rd pick: #6 (Tough Temper) (9-2) - Un-raced since Dec 16, he tired that day while not having a good trip. Speedy filly finished a pace-setting third here Oct 24 when debuting here at this level and distance on the grass. That was her career best and her only turf race to date. Dangerous.

4th pick: #1 (Katie Ice) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she rallied to finish second here at this level and distance April 29. It was a big step forward off her dirt debut at Gulfstream and she has the rail and Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard.

5th pick: #9 (Same Kinda Crazy) (10-1) - From the same barn (Bruce Brown) as 'Katie Ice,' she's improving and draws a fine outside post for her presumed stalking tactics. May be a factor at a big price.
