Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (SHARP LACEY) (8-1) - Price play has early speed, a nice outside post at this seven-furlong distance, and she's racing second back from a seven-month layoff. She tired in her return April 13 at Aqueduct at this tag going a mile in a race this 3yo most likely needed. Has a solid shot at long odds.

2nd pick: #3 (She's All Love) (7-2) - Away from action for a year, she's training steadily for veteran Steve Klesaris (22% off of long layoffs). Lightly raced, she was competitive in one of two racing on the grass before the extended absence. Fits if ready, and it's noted that Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard.

3rd pick: #1 (Lovely Sophia) (3-1) - Speed/stalker is racing third back from a 10-month layoff. She tired here going 8.5-furlongs May 3 in a contest where she did not break well. 4yo has the rail, and trainer Barclay Tagg replaces Manny Franco with Javier Castellano. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #7 (Pure Gemmz) (8-1) - Home bred filly raced both wide and evenly when finishing 3rd here at this level and distance May 4. It was her second start back from a 100-day layoff, and she can pick up a share with just a bit better effort.

5th pick: #2 (Youth Gone Wild) (12-1) - Longshot is shortening up in distance following a pair of even efforts at this tag going 8.5-furlongs. Her figures fit with most, and grey 3yo may get a slice of this at a very big price.
