Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SNOWBALL) (3-1) - One of several 3yos taking on older rivals, she's cutting back a furlong after winning a local $75,000 stakes for sophomore Louisiana breds going a mile here May 25. Stalker draws a fine post at this 7 furlong trip and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Yalisha) (7-2) - A veteran mare, she finished second here going 6.5 furlongs facing two-time state bred allowance foes April 17. Another with a stalking style, she's from a winning barn (Bret Calhoun) and is in the win mix.
3rd pick: #2 (Seattle Brew) (4-1) - 4yo has gone 6-2-2-0 since Dec. 6 and moves up in class after winning a $20K 2l claimer going a mile here facing 'open' company May 8. Claimed that day by Karl Broberg (a 26% winning angle), he improves just about everything and this daughter of 'Oxbow' is a threat despite moving up in class.
4th pick: #1 (Blondie Lox babe) (8-1) - A speedy 3yo, she's another moving up in class. She finished second here going 6.5 furlongs for a $20K tag facing fellow state breds April 26 and enters off a half-mile local breeze June 13. In the mix.
