Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DELTALINA) (3-1) - Speedy and lightly raced 4-year-old drops into a claimer for the first time. She tired here May 3 after setting a pressured pace facing tougher in her first start nine months. Filly has the rail, and along with the drop, trainer Wesley Ward is 9-for-35 (26%) at this meet, has John Velazquez aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #1a (Jazzy Juder) (4-1) - Originally part of a three-horse entry, she goes it alone in this spot. Lightly-raced, daughter of 'Freud' was a sharp maiden winner here May 4. It was her first ever on the grass and by far a career best figure was earned. In the barn of Rudy Rodriguez and Irad Ortiz Jr is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #8 (May Flowers) (5-1) - Mare rallied to miss by less than a length racing here at this level and distance May 3. It was her first start in three months and 5-year-old is from a 'hot' barn of Jeremiah Englehart which is 10-for-34 (29%) at the meet. Strong finisher has Jose Ortiz sticking with her.
4th pick: #4 (Veil Dance) (6-1) - No-speed type rallied while wide to finish fourth here May 3. She was 2.5 lengths in back of 'May Flowers' in what was her first start in a half-year. Capable, but John Velazquez abandons her for 'Deltalina.'
5th pick: #7 (Treatherlikeastar) (6-1) - Even-paced type drops in class for this attempt. Filly has finished within range in her last pair facing tougher and owner/trainer Gus Delgado has Javier Castellano replacing Manny Franco.
