Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (STELLA MARIE) (3-1) - A lightly raced 3yo, she's dropping in class after missing by a 'neck' here in a $40K stakes for fellow state-breds May 31. It was her second back following a 9.5-month layoff and second off a trainer change to Karl Broberg. She'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Hello Darling) (6-1) - One of several 4yos entered, filly has won more races (three) than any other in this allowance for fellow Iowa-breds. She rallied to score by a length here for a $15K tag going 5.5 furlongs May 27 in her second back after spending 8.5 months on the sidelines. She runs today fresh of a Jon Arnett claim, a 35% winning angle, and is a stretch threat despite moving up in class.
3rd pick: #8 (My Golden Day) (8-1) - She was a sharp maiden winner here going 5.5 furlongs May 27. Only her second start, the figure earned fits with these, and this home-bred 3yo draws a fine outside post from the six-furlong chute.
4th pick: #7 (Goodnightsugar) (5-1) - Another 4yo, she's a perfect two-for-two. She won her debut here in June of 2017, then did not run again for almost two years. She beat $30K state-bred claimers in her return May 18, has worked fast since, and must be left in the mix today.
