Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (HAIL MARY PLAY) (9-5) - Freshened up since April 1, lightly-raced filly is taking a big drop in class and does so with the addition of blinkers. Both career wins have come here at this distance and 3-year-old is working fast for her return off the two-month break.

2nd pick: #4 (Spicy Blonde) (8-5) - The slight morning line favorite, she was an easy winner here going 5.5 furlongs for a $20K tag April 2. Doubled-up in price April 24 at Los Alamitos April 24, she tired late after setting a quick and pressured pace to finish third. A solid effort, it earned her a career best figure. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Sooner Time) (5-1) - Filly drops back down after tiring badly in a pair facing tougher. Speed/stalker was in good form here earlier in the year, but has regressed since being claimed and coming off a seven week break. Barn has her racing in a career soft spot and 3-year-old should factor.

4th pick: #1 (Dancing Sunset) (8-1) - She's facing winners for the first time after rallying to get her maiden win at Los Alamitos April 29. Working fast since, home bred has the rail and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
