Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MUCHO UNUSUAL) (8-5) - This hard-hitting 4yo holds a big class edge as she moves back in with fellow state-breds after nine straight when facing much tougher 'open' company. Competitive in all but two of those attempts, both of those came at the G1 designation. The last time she faced fellow Cal-breds, she was a three-length winner of the nine-furlong California Cup Oaks Feb. 18 of 2019 at Santa Anita. If she brings her 'A' game, the rest are in trouble.

2nd pick: #2 (Cordiality) (3-1) - This older mare has won two of her last three with both victories coming in stakes for state-breds at this mile distance. The 7yo has a speed/stalking style, a great local record (6-3-2-0), and has gone 15-6-3-1 at this distance in her long career.

3rd pick: #1 (Sedamar) (5-1) - Very consistent 4yo has gone 12-4-3-4 on the grass and has exchanged decisions with 'Cordiality' the last two times they've met. She has the rail, a stalking style, and is another who likes this course (6-3-1-1) and this distance (10-3-3-3). In the mix.
