Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (WHAT'S BRUIN) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Curlin' moves to the grass following a second place finish here at this distance on the main track April 2. Stalker is bred for the surface switch and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #10 (Katherine) (12-1) - Long shot has been on the sidelines since Oct. 7. Well backed in both attempts she's tired badly in each. Working above average and this $575,000 purchase seems poised for a sharp effort at a big price.

3rd pick: #9 (Token Vow) (7-2) - She rallied to finish third of seven, beaten 1.5 lengths when debuting at this level and distance in a small field (eight) April 22. Filly has worked twice since and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #2 (Camino Song) (10-1) - Another longshot, Irish import has been on the sidelines since Nov. 2. Stretch runner is working steadily and is a late threat if able to stay within range in the early stages.

5th pick: #12 (Unchaining Melody) (7-2) - English import rallied to finish third here at this level and distance March 31. Away slowly in both starts, she has a tough post and will need to break quicker in this spot.
