Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (REALLY) (2-1) - Filly ships back from Laurel where she set a solid pace at this tag and trip and was caught in the final strides. It was a carer best, she has the rail here, is from the Rodriguez barn, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Thirtydaysinjune) (4-1) - She missed by a 'nose' after setting the pace Feb. 25. It was her first at this $40K tag and second back from a 10-week break. $125K purchase has worked three times since and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Citizen by Day) (12-1) - 4yo doubles up in price after a solid 3rd place finish at this distance on the inner surface for a $20K tag Feb. 17. It was her second back from a seven-month layoff, and she still has room for upside.
4th pick: #9 (Axe Capital) (8-1) - Philly shipper finished a pace-setting 2nd there March 13 for a $30K claiming price. However, in her previous start in New York, 'Thirtydaysinjune' was over five lengths in front of her. Can factor, but needs to do better.
