Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CONSTANTIA) (6-1) - Price play stretches out in distance after a wide and even effort from a tough post (11 of 11) while sprinting here at this level May 16. Beaten by only five lengths, trainer John Sadler brings her back quickly, and he's won with 12 of 58 (21%) on the stretch out angle in 2019-20.

2nd pick: #6 (Colombian Gold) (3-1) - She rallied to miss by a 1/2-length here at this tag and trip March 7. By far a career-best, it was her second following a trainer change to Peter Miller and was her first in a claimer. Working steadily, she's an obvious contender with Flavien Prat staying aboard.

3rd pick: #5 (Lemon Drop Tini) (5-1) - This daughter of 'Lemon Drop Kid' makes her West Coast debut and first start since Jan. 31. She finished 3rd of nine, missing by 1.5 lengths that day at Gulfstream going 8.5 furlongs for a $50K tag. Claimed by Matt Chew, she's worked six times locally since April 26, moves up a bit in price, and Drayden van Dyke gets aboard.

4th pick: #1 (Tagline) (5-2) - The morning-line favorite, this 4yo rallied following a ground-saving trip to finish 2nd here at this trip March 21. Working fast, the Mullins barn drops her into a claimer, and she's a win threat, but at a short pice.

5th pick: #2 (Awesome Drive) (15-1) - She tired late to finish four lengths behind 'Colombian Gold' here at this level March 7. This 3yo may hold down a share at a big price.
