Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LUCKY LONG) (5-2) - Filly is racing off an eight week break and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She showed nothing facing tougher at Keeneland April 11, but had been competitive in eight straight prior to that. Stalker won here at this distance Oct. 6 and can takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Hardly Mate) (7-2) - Stretch runner raced evenly here facing a bit tougher at this distance June 9. Competitive in three straight prior to that, 4-year-old will be finishing fast and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Miko) (2-1) - Blinkers go on 4-year-old who finished second here for a $50K tag May 4. It was her first since Nov. 18 and she was a 'head' in front of 'Hardly Mate' in her fine return attempt. Must be left in the mix.
