Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (BY THE MOON) (5-2) - Hard-hitting mare enters in the best shape of her career. She won the Vagrancy Handicap (G3) here going 6.5 furlongs on a sloppy track May 5. That ran her local record to 4-3-1-0 and her only loss here came by a 'neck' in the Acorn Stakes (G1) two years ago. Stalker draws a nice outside post and is the top choice.

2nd pick: #7 (Mia Tori) (8-1) - Very fast from the gate, she was a wire-to-wire winner in a $100,000 stakes at this distance April 22 at Charles Town. In nine lifetime sprints, filly has finished no worse than fourth in any. Working fast and it's noted that Mike Smith is aboard for her New York debut.

3rd pick: #3 (Indulgent) (5-1) - Lightly-raced Godolphin home bred tired after setting the pace in the G2 Ruffian Stakes going a mile May 13. She's a better fit today and think she can factor at a square price.

4th pick: #5 (Lightstream) (4-1) - A specialist at this distance, filly has won three of six at it. Included is a score in the G2 Raven Run last October at Keeneland. Working fast for this attempt and Castellano is back on the re-ride. Stretch threat.
