Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (A TOAST TO GERTIE) (5-2) - 'Gertie' takes a big drop in class as she runs for the first time since Nov. 21. She showed good early speed in both starts last fall facing tougher at Delta Downs and can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #7 (Chispa) (7-2) - Lightly raced filly rallied to finish 2nd here at this level and distance May 25. Only her second start, it was her first since debuting Oct. 27. An obvious contender.
3rd pick: #1 (Karslyn) (5-1) - The field's only first-time-starter, she has the rail and is from a capable barn (Sam David) that is 24% with debuting stock. Two of her nine published drills are well above average, and she can factor with an alert break.
4th pick: #4 (Gone Pecan) (9-2) - She rallied to miss by a 'nose' at this tag and trip May 17 at odds of 5.5-1. Improving 3yo must be left in the mix.
