Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (THANKS) (7-2) - Filly has been competitive in five of her last six and enters off a very wide 3rd place finish here at this tag & trip May 18. It was her first race in almost three months, she worked fast on June 6, and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Zillinda) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, mare missed by a 1/2 length here at this tag & trip April 26. She had faced tougher her entire career up to that point and is an obvious win candidate and I could have easily made her the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Cuyahoga Falls) (8-1) - Longshot stretches out in her 2nd ever on the dirt. A $70,000 daughter of 'Arch', she tired after chasing the pace last out and is breaking just off the rail with blinkers on. Think she can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Lucky Brite Eye) (6-1) - A lightly raced home bred, 3yo finished 2nd here at this tag & trip March 29. Sent in for a 7 week freshening, she tired here at the same level May 18, a contest where she was 2.5 lengths behind 'Thanks'.
