Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SUMMER HOUSE) (3-1) - Well bred filly tired at this level going a mile on the Keeneland grass April 17. Trainer Bill Mott is cutting her back in distance and has this daughter of 'Tiznow' making back-to-back starts for the first time since the fall of 2014.

2nd pick: #6 (Bruised Orange) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced filly has been on the sidelines since Nov 1. The last time she raced on the grass daughter of 'City Zip' missed by a 'neck' in a $100K stakes sprinting on the Saratoga grass Aug 21. Working above average, her trainer (Wesley Ward) wins at an excellent 35% off of long layoffs.

3rd pick: #4 (Barbary Hall) (6-1) - She tired at this level going 5.5 furlongs on the Keeneland grass April 14. It was her first since Feb 28 when she broke her maiden sprinting on the Fair Ground's turf. Trainer Tom Amoss brings her back quickly and 3yo can factor at a square price.

4th pick: #7 (Justa Lady) (4-1) - She was competitive in two of three starts this past winter racing on the dirt at Oaklawn Park. Speed/stalker is making her first start on the turf and is bred, she's by 'More Than Ready' to enjoy the surface switch.
