Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RED RUBY) (5-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Tiznow' ships from Keeneland where she's been working fast for trainer Kellyn Gorder. Competitive in all four starts she rallied to finish fourth last out March 10 at Oaklawn Park in the G3 Honeybe Stakes. Filly had won a stakes there in her previous outing and she gets top billing.

2nd pick: #9 (Sara Street) (4-1) - Godolphin bred and owned, she ships from New York where she missed by a 1/2 length in Aqueduct's Gazelle Stakes (G2) at this distance April 7. Speedy sort breezed a fast half-mile at Belmont May 1 and daughter of 'Street Sense' is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Coach Rocks) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Dale Romans and the pair race uncoupled. She won two in a row earlier this year at Gulfstream including the Oaks (G2) March 31. Daughter of 'Oxbow' raced evenly in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) at Churchill Downs two weeks ago and that was a much tougher field than this. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Mihrab) (20-1) - Long shot was an easy winner facing weaker at Laurel April 28. She has some ability and may get a minor award at a big price with a late rally.
