Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (FIELD BET) (4-1) - She tired last out facing tougher after being sent hard from an inside draw at this distance for a $75K tag May 17. She's back down to the price ($50,000) that Doug O'Neill re-claimed her for April 14 and I like the fact that 3yo has an outside post.

2nd pick: #9 (Sunriser) (5-1) - A 4yo daughter of 'City Zip', she finished third of eight, beaten 3 lengths here for a $75K tag May 17. $200K purchase was a 1/2 length better than 'Field Bet' that afternoon and is dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #8 (Dulverton Darling) (3-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she rallied following a poor break to miss by a 1/2 length here at this tag going 9 furlongs May 24. Competitive in both starts, she shortens up a furlong and is an obvious win candidate.

4th pick: #12 (Calentita) (15-1) - Longshot by international sire 'Rock of Gibraltar, Irish bred raced evenly following a slow start when debuting here May 17. Her post is of no help and believe a minor award at a big price is her ceiling.

5th pick: #6 (Shanghai Truffles) (6-1) - Filly ships back from Golden Gate Fields where she finished a non-threatening 3rd in an 'of the turf' contest May 18. She was only 1.5 lengths behind 'Field Bet' here in a grass sprint April 21 and I like that Flavien Prat is back aboard after a one race absence.
