Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (REVENUE VIRGINIUS) (2-1) - Veteran mare has been on the sidelines since May 6. Re-claimed that afternoon by Jerry Hollendorfer, he drops her down in price for her return. Working steadily and mostly above average for her return, 6-year-old can take this if ready. I would advise you box the picks as sometimes older mares like this will need a race following a long absence.

2nd pick: #4 (Be a Lady) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old mare enters having been sharp in three of her previous four starts. Stalker has won three of six on the local dirt and has a big recency edge on 'Revenur Virginius'.

3rd pick: #2 (Macalla) (6-1) - The main speed, she's racing on conventional dirt for the first time. Competitive in eight straight, six on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields and two on the grass, she's dangerous on the lead at a square price if the new footing agrees with her.
