Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BLAZING CHARM) (5-2) - Away slowly in her debut, she settled back in the pack before rallying to finish 2nd of nine, beaten by just over two lengths. On the sidelines for the past three months, she's working steadily, stretches out a furlong, and Flavien Prat stays aboard.
2nd pick: #6 (Instatory) (3-1) - This filly had a very wide trip before closing to miss by a 'head' when debuting here at this level going 5.5 furlongs on May 15. A home-bred 3yo, she should like the additional yardage she travels today.
3rd pick: #2 (Queensbeccaandjane) (5-1) - This 3yo raced evenly in her debut when finishing 5.5 lengths behind 'Instatory' May 15. Brought back 15 days later, she rallied to finish 2nd after a slow beginning and some mid-race traffic issues. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Gotta Be Lucky) (6-1) - By far the field's most experience maiden, she's finished 2nd in her last pair going a mile facing $20K 'open' claimers. Back in with state-breds while cutting back in distance, I believe a minor award is her ceiling.
