Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SCANDAL) (2-1) - Mare has finished second in five straight at this level with three of those coming by less than a length. Strong finisher was beaten a 'nose' at this nine furlong trip March 25 and seems on the verge of her maiden win.

2nd pick: #8 (Creme de La) (6-1) - She had a very wide trip when finishing 1.5 lengths in back of 'Scandal' going a mile April 29. It was her first in No. America after finish second in six of 10 starts in Ireland. Can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #4 (Heavenly Thought) (5-2) - Beautifully bred filly rallied to finish fourth when debuting here at a mile facing males April 30. Three-year-old daughter of 'War Front' is in with her own sex and should love this longer distance.

4th pick: #6 (Oh Scatty Oh) (8-1) - Lightly-raced filly stretches out after making up ground during the stretch run going 6.5 furlongs April 6. That was her first start in a half-year and leading trainer Peter Miller is stretching her out in distance.
