Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MY CALIFORNIA) (4-1) - Home bred makes her debut for a solid first out barn (Bob Diodoro) Trainer has won with 13 of 52 (25%) in that category over the past 17. months and this filly worked a bullet three furlongs from the gate here April 17.

2nd pick: #4 (Barbara Jo) (5-2) - Barn (John Brocklebank) specializes with 2-year-olds and he's already won at this meet with a debuting juvenile. Filly has a trio of fast works on view and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Lofty Cause) (3-1) - One of two that have already started and both fillies are trained by Mike Harrington. This grey home bred was bet heavily when debuting at Los Alamitos April 29, but she broke poorly and had some traffic issues. Barn adds blinkers and usually means she'll try and win this right out of the gate.

4th pick: #9 (You're Late) (7-2) - Home bred daughter of 'Lucky Pulpit' has some fast local works showing and is from a capable barn (Jeff Bonde). An alert break from her outside post is essential in a contest that starts very close to the far turn.
