Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FREUD'S SECRET) (8-1) - This longshot is racing second back following a 12-week break and is switching from turf to dirt while dropping down in price. Filly tired here at this distance on the grass facing $40K state-breds May 27, and I like that veteran Chris Englehart brings her back in 13 days for this attempt. A 'live' price play.
2nd pick: #7 (Too Many Tales) (7-2) - Home-bred has been competitive in all five starts, and last out March 22 at Aqueduct she missed by a 'head' for twice this tag on a sloppy surface at this distance. Trainer Rodrigo Ubillo replaces apprentice Hernandez with Irad Ortiz, Jr., a sure sign that the barn likes this one's chances.
3rd pick: #8 (She's Not Bluffing) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she tired last out facing tougher going longer here June 2. A daughter of 'Verrazano,' she finished 3rd facing state-bred special weights sprinting on the dirt April 6 at Aqueduct, and is an obvious contender today.
4th pick: #1 (Peggy Sue) (9-2) - One of two 4yos entered, she moves to the rail and has early speed. Competitive in all three attempts at this level, the filly must be left in the mix.
