Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RED SHELBY) (3-1) - Speedy sort drops down after tiring late to finish fourth here at this distance facing tougher May 6. Four-year-old broke her maiden at this trip April 22 and the very selective Victor Espinoza, who rode her that afternoon is back aboard following a one race absence.

2nd pick: #6 (Diva La Mousse) (5-1) - She tired badly here May 6 and was far behind 'Red Shelby' at the finish. Four-year-old was much sharper in her previous pair and think she'll be competitive today at a square price.

3rd pick: #2 (Twirling Apples) (2-1) - Four-year-old has been freshened up since April 6 when she raced evenly going a mile at this 2l condition for a $25,000 price tag. Taken that afternoon by Vlad Cerin (a strong 36% first off the claim), he moves her up while cutting her back from a mile to 6.5 furlongs.

4th pick: #5 (Lethal Legacy) (10-1) - Veteran raced evenly going 8.5 furlongs facing tougher on the Golden Gate grass May 13. It was her first since Feb. 9 and even-paced type is dangerous at a big price against a very weak field for this level.
