Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (A DIME FOR ME) (7-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, she was a maiden winner here at this distance facing $50K Cal bred claimers May 17. It was her first race in three months, first off a private trainer switch to Mark Glatt, and a career best. Barn has her nicely spotted in her first facing winners and I give her a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Convince) (8-5) - She's dropping in class following a non-threatening third place finish here May 10 in a small field (5). A 4yo stalker, she's racing first off a Vann Belvoir claim (a 21% angle) and he has her in against $30K straight claimers. The last time she did so, she missed by a length here for a $40K tag Feb. 22. Florida bred has blinkers on and is dangerous.

3rd pick: #6 (Heloise) (3-1) - No-speed type rallied to miss by a 'nose' here at this distance for a $12,500 price tag May 12. Claimed that day by Isidro Tamayo, new barn has won with 15-of-57 (28%) off that move in 2018-19. 4yo moves way up in class, gets a rider upgrade, and has blinkers on.
