Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BLOOMING) (7-2) - Filly stumbled at the break then tired after rushing up when debuting here going a mile on the grass for a $75,000 claiming price May 16. She's worked fast twice at Saratoga since then, and has both blinkers and lasix added by trainer Jon Thomas who is 8-of-18 (44%) second time out.
2nd pick: #2 (We Are Family) (4-1) - She sold for $270,000 as a yearling back in Sept. of 2016 and has been brought along slowly by trainer Michelle Nevin. Daughter of 'Into Mischief' ships back from Pimlico where she finished a non-threatening third at this level going two-turns May 24. A career best, it was her second back following a 8.5 month layoff and she's headed in the right direction.
3rd pick: #5 (Tigalalu) (4-1) - One of three fillies making their debuts, daughter of 'Curlin' has breezed a half-dozen times locally since May 5. From a good first out barn of Mark Hennig (21%) and she should factor if 3-year-old runs to her a.m. drills.
