Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (TARALENA) (7-2) - Promising 4-year-old was a winner here at this distance May 4 facing first-level allowance foes. Stakes placed twice during 2016, her win came in her first start since Sept. 11. She has a speed/stalking style and that gives her an edge in a contest with mostly one-paced types.

2nd pick: #6 (Chicadoro) (5-1) - English import finished a close-up fourth here at this distance May 19. It was her first since late November when she defeated weaker at Aqueduct. Four-year-old is an uncoupled barn-mate of 'Taralena' and the pair give trainer Chris Clement a strong hand in this contest.

3rd pick: #2 (Not Taken) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Arch' enters of a career best effort May 19. Racing here at this trip, she checked in a close up third in her second start back following a pair of layoffs. Working well and 4-year-old has a ground-saving post.

4th pick: #1 (Queen Blossom) (5-1) - Irish bred was a Group 3 winner in her native country before being sent to No. America. She's been a disappointment in her three starts at Santa Anita and runs today following a three month freshening. It's of note that trainer Graham Motion has Jose Ortiz aboard for her NYRA debut.
