Premium Pick

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MIS BIGLY) (7-2) - She finished 3rd of 12, beaten 3.5 lengths here at this level and distance May 4 in her first start in seven months. She had a tough post last out (11 of 12), draws better today, and I give her a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Ameerah B) (2-1) - This $350,000 daughter of 'Street Boss' is one of two entered by John Sadler. Away slowly when debuting here at this level in a five-furlong grass sprint April 21, she rallied to finish 2nd to a filly who won again next out. Sadler stretches her out in distance (21%) for this, has worked her three times since, and has Joel Roasrio aboard.

3rd pick: #8 (Katsaros) (4-1) - The second of the Sadler trained pair, she exits he same last race as barn-mate 'Ameerah B.' Just like that filly, she was off slowly and improved to check in 4th, almost two back of her at the wire. A $210K daughter of 'Curlin,' she should like the longer distance she travels today.

4th pick: #1 (Fashion Girl) (8-1) - She's raced evenly in her last pair and had a legit excuse when having traffic issues out of the gate May 4. A well bred filly, she has a ground saving post, blinkers on, and Irad Ortiz, Jr., who is in for the day and takes the mount.
