Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (GRAND BANKS) (8-5) - Filly has had a lot of chances but seems on the verge of her maiden win. She rallied to finish second here at this distance facing tougher April 15 in her first start since Nov. 29. Four-year-old tired badly in her follow up May 19, but that race was taken 'off the turf'. Back on the grass and reunited with Jose Ortiz, she'll be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #7 (Crater Rim ) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old enters off a troubled and even effort sprinting here at this level May 28. She had traffic issues at the break, then had a wide trip while making up some ground late. Home bred is stretching out in distance and is dangerous at a square price.

3rd pick: #6 (Frosty Linz) (8-1) - Very lightly-raced 3-year-old had a rough trip racing between horses before tiring to finish fourth at this level and distance May 31. Only her second start, it was her first on he grass and Luis Saez stays aboard.

4th pick: #2 (Fancycase) (8-1) - Home bred is dropping into a claimer after showing good early speed before tiring in a pair facing tougher. Three-year-old should be involved every step at a big price.
