Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GOLDRUSHCAT) (5-2) - Improving filly comes off a career best at Los Alamitos April 30. Facing $30K claimers at this mile trip, she rated early, bid to the front, then fought it out gamely to miss by a 'neck.' A repeat of that effort beats these.

2nd pick: #2 (Flashy Gold) (9-2) - Lightly-raced filly rallied strongly to finish third, only a 1/2 length behind 'Goldrushcat' April 30 at Los Alamitos. Home bred is an obvious factor if that race wasn't a fluke.

3rd pick: #1 (Trinity's Turn) (6-1) - Long winded type continues to make a lot of dances, but last out was well within range of the top two picks in here. However, she doesn't have as much room for upside as that pair. The faster the pace, the better her prospects.

4th pick: #7 (Pridelander) (8-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, she was competitive last out in the same April 30 contest that the top three picks exit. It was a career best and came in her first try going two-turns.
