Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PAVED WITH GOLD) (7-2) - A home bred from the quality small operation of Barry Schwartz (Stonewall Farm), she moves to the grass after a distant 3rd place finish when debuting here in an 'off he turf' contest April 28. Trainer Todd Pletcher (27% second time out) ships her down from Saratoga where she breezed a bullet half-mile on the training track May 12. This daughter of 'Street Sense' should love the grass, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is getting aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Amarone) (5-2) - This filly ships up from Monmouth where she raced evenly while checking in 3rd of nine, beaten 3.5 lengths while going 8.5 furlongs at this level May 11. It was a career best in four starts, and trainer Mike Maker brings her back on a 15-day turnaround.
3rd pick: #1 (Petalite) (4-1) - She tired while wide going a mile here at this level May 16. It was her first on the grass, a useful effort, and she has a ground saving post today. Back on a 10-day turnaround, she should offer her best in this spot.
