Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MATAPAN) (8-5) - Filly takes a big drop in her first start since April 26. Arkansas bred broke her maiden at this distance at Oaklawn facing $50K state bred claimers March 28, then finished third last out facing winners for a $30K tag. Stalker has the rail and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #2 (Diamond for Crider) (10-1) - Longshot boke her maiden here at this trip for a $12,500 tag May 24. In her follow up at this level sprinting on the grass June 12, she held a good spot but came up empty at 'crunch' time. 4yo can factor as she moves back to the main track.
3rd pick: #5 (Gold Pass) (6-1) - She's facing winners for the first time while shortening up in distance. Filly earned a weak figure when going wire-to-wire at a mile June 6, but is well bred, lightly raced, and Tim Thornton stays aboard.
