Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SEDAMAR) (4-1) - This very consistent filly finished 2nd in a stakes at this distance and was just under two lengths behind today's rival 'Super Patriot' June 6 at Santa Anita. It was her first race in almost five months, and this 4yo loves the Del Mar grass course (5-3-1-1). Stalker draws a fine post for her style and can post a mild upset.
2nd pick: #1 (Super Patriot) (8-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, she defeated 'Sedamar' last out by almost two lengths. Veteran mare has gone 23-6-5-5 overall on the grass, is 7-3-1-2 locally, is an obvious win candidate, and would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #3 (Ziarah) (5-1) - This hard-hitting mare ships from the No. California circuit where she's won four in a row. Stalker is not as accomplished on the grass as the top two selections, and is capable of factoring with her normal effort.
4th pick: #5 (Desert Oasis) (8-1) - A lightly raced English import, she has early speed and has not finished worse than 4th in five starts since being imported. Longshot is dangerous from either on or just off the lead.
