Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PATOOTY) (5-2) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in four straight at or around this tag and trip. Last out she rallied while racing wide to finish second of 11, beaten just under a length. She defeated five of the rivals entered against her in this spot and 4-year-old will be tough to beat in this evening's finale.

2nd pick: #3 (Teton Silver) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly rated, made a bid, then leveled off to finish fourth, 3.5 lengths behind 'Patooty' here April 27. It was a nice effort and came in her first race back from a three-month layoff. Believe she's the main danger.

3rd pick: #6 (Missbudlitetime) (6-1) - Home bred filly has early speed, but tired badly last out to finish well back of both 'Patooty' and 'Teton Silver.' Three-year-old had finished fourth in three straight prior to that and is capable of getting a slice of this with her 'A' game.

4th pick: #5 (Skedaddle Babe) (8-1) - Very fast from the gate, once promising filly has tired badly in her last three outings. Three-year-old held a big lead last out in the same April 27 contest as the top three selections in here, but weakened to finish off the board. However, she is the quickest from the gate and that's always a bit dangerous. May hold better in this spot at a big price.
