Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SPINDLE) (9-2) - Price play switches back to dirt following a solid 3rd place finish here at this level going 6.5 furlongs on the local lawn May 27. Daughter of 'Hard Spun' is working fast for this attempt, and stalker has a solid shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #3 (Leveler) (2-1) - The probable favorite has rallied to finish 2nd in both starts here at this level on the dirt. Working fast, and it's noted that the filly who defeated her last out has since won another. An obvious threat.

3rd pick: #4 (C C Zip) (4-1) - Speedy filly set a pressured pace before weakening to finish 3rd here June 3. She was 2.5 lengths behind 'Leveler' that day in her first race since Oct. 18th. Her early speed makes her dangerous.

4th pick: #8 (Lunar Empress) (4-1) - Away since late November, filly finished 2nd in both starts last fall before the layoff. Working above average, daughter of 'Malibu Moon' can factor if ready.
