Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (MOONHALL MILLY) (7-2) - A lightly raced Irish import, she's finished close in both starts here at this level and distance. Very wide in her N. American debut Feb. 1, she missed by just under a length. In her follow up May 16, she had a troubled break before checking in 3rd, missing by 1.5 lengths. 3yo should beat these with an alert beginning.

2nd pick: #5 (Sweet Sonny) (6-1) - This daughter of 'Twirling Candy' sold for $250K as a 2yo in training in April of 2019. In her debut here May 16, she rushed up after a slow break to be near a quick pace before weakening to finish 4.5 lengths in back of 'Moonhall Milly.' She's worked three times since, and trainer Brian Koriner has won with five of 23 (26%) second time starters in 2019-20.

3rd pick: #9 (Vegas Palm) (4-1) - One of two mares entered, she rallied to finish a 1/2-length in front of 'Moonhall Milly' and four ahead of 'Sweet Sonny.' Stalker fits, but as a 5yo she has no room for upside at this point.

4th pick: #7 (This Tea) (10-1) - A debuting daughter of 'Curlin,' she has a solid series of works on view, including a bullet half-mile from the gate here in 00:46.60 May 31. $155K purchase can factor if ready.
