Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FLYING THE COLORS) (2-1) - This 4yo daughter of 'War Front' has finished 2nd in three of her four starts and just missed (by a 'head') going nine furlongs at Churchill Downs May 30. Stretch runner will be very tough to beat in his spot with Joel Rosario aboard.
2nd pick: #6 (Forty Zip) (7-2) - Lasix is added to this daughter of 'City Zip,' who rallied to miss by two lengths when debuting at this level and distance March 8 at Gulfstream Park. She 'hit the gate' at the break and was last of a dozen until the far turn. This homebred is working steadily for 'Shug' McGaughey, who is almost always better second time out.
3rd pick: #1 (Fate Factor) (4-1) - Competitive in four of five on the grass, she missed by a 'neck' at this level going nine furlongs at Churchill June 6. Stalker has a ground-saving post, has positive local experience last Fall, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (I Hear You) (10-1) - A $250,000 daughter of 'Street Sense,' she ships from Laurel where she finished 5th of 12, beaten by 4.5 lengths when debuting at this level and distance May 30. It had the look of an educational run for trainer Mike Stidham, who has won with 20 of 90 (23%) second time starters since Jan. 1 of 2019.
