Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (JOJUTLA) (3-1) - Speedy filly is facing winners for the first time. Lightly raced 3-year-old by 'Always Dreaming's' sire 'Bodemeister' was an easy wire-to-wire maiden winner here at this distance for a $7,500 tag April 22. Nicely spotted this evening, she can win right back.

2nd pick: #9 (Bonnie Sarge) (7-2) - Filly drops in class and is shortening up in distance. She finished fourth when facing tougher going a mile April 20 in her first since Feb. 9. From a winning barn (Karl Broberg), trainer has won with 53-of-160 (33%) when teamed up with rider Tim Thornton over the past 1.5 months. A strong factor tonight.

3rd pick: #2 (Magic Forest) (5-1) - Freshened up for the past two months, lightly-raced filly is taking a big drop in class for her return. Speedy sort is well bred and will be involved on the lead or just off as far as she can.

4th pick: #4 (Elody) (15-1) - She's shortening up after tiring going a mile at this level May 6. Think she's capable of getting a small slice at a big price with a late rally.
