Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (GEE STREET) (5-2) - State bred enters off a narrow loss at this $50,000 claiming price facing 'open' foes at this distance May 18. A career best, it was her first ever when in for a tag. Improving sort is back in with fellow Cal breds, has a ground saving post, and can break her maiden with a trouble free journey.

2nd pick: #2 (Christiana's Song) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has rallied to finish a non-threatening fourth in both starts facing tougher. Bred for the grass, she showed immediate improvement when moved to the infield June 4. In a claimer for the first time home bred is a stretch threat in this spot.

3rd pick: #7 (Hotsy Dotsy) (12-1) - Longshot chased a very fast pace before weakening to be beaten six lengths here at this distance June 4 facing tougher. Only 1.5-lengths in back of 'Christiana's Song' that day and she's worked fast since.

4th pick: #8 (Lethal Legacy) (7-2) - Veteran maiden rallied to miss by a 'neck' here at this level and distance June 18. Competitive in most of her starts, she moves well out i the gate following a perfect ground saving trip last out. Can factor, but will need some racing luck for anything more than a minor award.
