Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (STIR FRY) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy,she's racing first off a claim by trainer Ed Freeman. Daughter of 'Papa Clem' finished a pace-setting second here at this $25K tag going seven furlongs the day she switched barns (May 12). Freeman shortens her up to the distance (5.5-furlongs) that she broke her maiden at here April 7.

2nd pick: #7 (Hi Fever) (3-1) - Four-year-old finished a solid second in a small field (five) racing at this level going six furlongs at Los Alamitos April 24. It was her first race in eight months and she's working fast for this attempt. She broke her maiden here almost a year ago and looks set for a competitive effort.

3rd pick: #8 (Girl Downstairs) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's dropping to a new low in class and is shortening up in distance. Stalker has a figure advantage, but she'll need to rally while wide at this trip, and at a short price.

4th pick: #2 (Edgy Girl) (8-1) - She was a sharp wire-to-wire maiden winner going 6.5-furlongs at Los Alamitos April 22. then ran evenly here facing tougher May 20 in her first facing winners. Drops, breaks just off the rail, and she worked fast June 4. Can factor at a big price. It's apprentice Lindsay off an Maldonado on.
