Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NOVIQUE) (9-5) - Lightly-raced New York shipper has sharp early speed and draws the rail for her first attempt racing around two turns. She tired badly going 6.5 furlongs at Belmont facing tougher May 1 and is nicely spotted this afternoon.
2nd pick: #3 (Brenda's Way) (7-2) - Veteran mare has more wins on the dirt (nine) than any other entered. She has early speed, has won here in the past, and is a former stakes winner. Six-year-old must avoid an early speed duel with 'Novique' for her best chance at winning this.
3rd pick: #2 (Dun Won) (2-1) - Clearly better on the grass, this grey mare is racing second off a Jamie Ness claim. She rallied to finish second last out at Laurel (May 6) and was in front of 'Brenda's Way' when it was all over. A fast and/or contested pace would help her stretch charge be more effective.
