Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (RADISH) (7-5) - I liked her last out when she missed by a 'neck' at this level at 9-2. Stalker shortens up a furlong, has a ground saving post, and meets a much weaker group that she faced in her latest.

2nd pick: #6 (Zillinda) (6-1) - Home bred has more early speed than 'Radish' and is stretching out in distance while switching from dirt to grass. Competitive last summer in four straight on the turf, 4-year-old is dangerous if she gets an uncontested lead in the first half-mile.

3rd pick: #9 (South Boot Shirley) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly stumbled badly at the break April 8 and was pulled up entering the back-stretch when far behind. It was her first on the grass following a air of second place finishes on the dirt and 3-year-old is an uncoupled barn-mate of 'Radish' as both are trained by Doug O'Neill.

4th pick: #8 (Clearly Gone) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old rallied to finish fourth, 1.5 lengths in back of 'Radish' last out. She's worked three times since and should factor today.
