Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (ELOWEASEL) (2-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'City Zip' chased while wide and checked in a close up third when racing here at this level and distance June 4. It was her first since late September and she should move forward in her second back. Three-year-old draws a fine outside post at this trip and gets the edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Tapah Liath) (5-2) - Very lightly-raced, she's been competitive in all three starts, the latest pair coming on the grass. Three-year-old filly by 'Patty O'Prado' missed by a 1/2 length racing here at this level going 8.5 furlongs May 28. A solid effort, she's worked fast since and trainer Carlos Martin is shortening her up in distance.

3rd pick: #6 (Majestic Bloom) (3-1) - Speedy filly finished a pace-setting second here at this level and distance May 14. She's back in shape following a George Weaver claim and a subsequent layoff. $150K daughter of 'Majestic Warrior' must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Cotton Candy Cutie) (8-1) - Stalker finished an even 3rd here at this level and seven-furlong trip May 14. It was her first race in just under six months and she most likely needed the race. It was a career best overall and trainer Bruce Brown has breezed her three times since. Brown has been doing well the past two weeks following a long dry spell.
