Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (MATT'S PRIDE) (7-2) - Home-bred is dropping into a claimer and is racing on the grass, both for the first time. She returns from a Jan. 11 layoff with a fine local half-mile drill May 28, and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Priortizing) (5-2) - A debuting filly by 'Apriority,' she's from an excellent first-out barn, Lee Thomas, seven of 31 (23%) since Jan. 1 of 2019. This is a weak group on paper, and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Pray for Lisa) (9-2) - 'Lisa' makes start #11 in search of her first win. She has good early speed, breaks just off the rail, and this 6yo mare should be in this from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #8 (High Hopes Dance) (5-1) - Another with some early speed, this 5yo mare has been competitive in her last two grass sprints, and both came here facing tougher. In the mix.
