Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SURFACE) (7-2) - Competitive in her first pair going longer, trainer Mike McCarthy shortens her up a furlong while removing her blinkers. Bet down to 3-2 favoritism May 11, she raced a bit greenly then, and I give her a slight edge here.

2nd pick: #6 (Magical Grey) (4) - A speedy 4yo, she missed by a 'nose' here at this level and distance April 12. Filly tired late in her follow up going nine furlongs May 11 and was a 1/2-length in back of 'Surface' that afternoon. A win candidate today.

3rd pick: #1 (Miss Bigly) (8-1) - Even paced 3yo has finished within range in all four starts, each at this level and distance. She's racing third back from a seven-month layoff, has a ground saving post today, and is dangerous at a big price.

4th pick: #3 (Barbadolla) (12-1) - Blinkers go on this filly who finished 4th here at this level going five furlongs on the grass May 18. It was her first start in 7.5 months, and I think she'll be competitive here at huge odds.
