Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ROCKIN SUNDAY) (2-1) - Heavily backed (6-5) debuting here at this level and distance June 1, she was involved in a spirited pace duel from gate-to-wire and came up a 'head' short. Home bred is back on a quick turnaround and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Wimbleton's Sugar) (5-2) - Texas bred ships up from Lone Star Park where she debuted at this level going 5.5 furlongs May 12. Away slowly, she rushed up to set a pressured pace before weakening late to check in 3rd of 9, beaten 3 lengths. From a winning barn (Ed Ramirez), she's an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Miss Invader) (6-1) - 4yo is one of two entered by Katina Milburn and the pair race uncoupled. Home bred moves back to this level after an even effort here sprinting on the grass May 18 facing $17,500 'open' claimers. Competitive in her prior pair, a fast/and or contested pace would help her chances out.

4th pick: #1 (High Hopes Dance) (10-1) - The second of the fillies from the barn of Katina Milburn, she moves way up in class after missing by a 1/2 length here for a $12,500 tag June 6. A career best, longshot has the rail and is capable of factoring at a square price.
