Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (LINDA'S BALLET) (2-1) - A lightly raced daughter of 'Maclean's Music', She's moving back to the main track in this 'off the turf' contest. She's finished third in her last pair here on the infield and prior to that had raced evenly while extremely when debuting on a sloppy main track March 22 at Aqueduct. Blinkers are added by Linda Rice (a 39% winning move) and I give this 3yo top billing.
2nd pick: #2 (Fight On Lucy) (7-2) - On the sidelines since Dec. 8, home bred filly by 'Musket Man' was competitive in two of three last fall. She finished second at this level and distance in an 'off the turf' contest Nov. 8 and enters following a sharp half-mile work here June 7.
3rd pick: #1 (Pendolino) (6-1) - She rallied to finish second Dec. 22 at Aqueduct on a muddy surface for a $50K claiming price. Unraced since, she's been in steady training at Monmouth, has the rail, and positive 'off' track experience.
