Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (ALEXITA) (3-1) - Lightly raced 4yo is racing second back from a 7.5-month layoff. In her return effort April 14 at Los Alamitos she tired to finish 3rd after setting a fast pace facing tougher. Trainer Pete Miller drops her way down in class and removes her blinkers. Ready to roll.

2nd pick: #10 (Stellata) (5-2) - She set/pressed the pace and held to finish 2nd here at this level going 6.5 furlongs April 7. It was her first race since Feb. 20th, and a repeat of it makes her a threat.

3rd pick: #6 (Sparkling Peg) (6-1) - 4yo chased and tired to check in a distant 3rd here at this tag going 5.5 furlongs May 6. It was her first race since late August and a career best overall. Barn brings her back quickly, and she should improve in her second off the lengthy absence.

4th pick: #5 (L A Magic) (4-1) - Speedy filly tired to finish 4th last out and was four lengths behind 'Sparkling Peg.' Capable with her best of competing with these from start-to-finish.
