Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ARTIE'S WOMAN) (7-2) - She has a fine record on the dirt (8-2-3-3) and has been sharp in both starts on wet tracks. Stalker has the rail and is racing third back from a three-month break.
2nd pick: #2 (Toe Tappin Fast) (5-2) - Mare has more early speed than most and has won on the dirt in the past. Much improved in her last pair on the grass, think she can compete on the main track.
3rd pick: #6 (Gospel Make Merry) (12-1) - The probable speed of the party. And like most front runners, she's proven tough in the past if left unchallenged in the opening furlongs. Dangerous at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Sheza Prize) (6-1) - Both career wins have come on the dirt, and mare has run well several times on wet surfaces without winning. She's racing second off a 2.5-month layoff and should factor.
