Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SCATTAGIRL) (5-2) - She broke her maiden in style here at this distance racing for a $40K tag May 13. A career best, it was her first starts in 8.5 months. Daughter of 'Scat Daddy' followed that up with a near miss here at this level and distance May 26. Stalker gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Brooke's All Mine) (3-1) - Very lightly raced, she's been sharp in both starts and they came almost nine months apart. Filly finished second when debuting on the Del Mar dirt Sept 3 and was claimed that afternoon by Tom Bell for $40,000. Sent in for a long vacation, she was a 'handy' maiden winner here on the local grass going 6.5 furlongs May 26. She's stretching out in distance, is nicely spotted, and 3-year-old has a ton of possible upside.

3rd pick: #7 (Holidayincambodia) (8-1) - Daughter of 'Harlan's Holiday' is moving from dirt to grass and is racing beyond 6.5 furlongs for the first time. Speedy sort is bred to handle the turf and can factor at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Mintjuleptaffy) (30-1) - Longshot is another trying both the grass and a two-turn distance for the first time. She has the rail, early speed, and is working fast. Her early speed makes her a bit interesting at a huge price.
