Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (VERVE'S POINT) (5-2) - She's finished in the money in all four starts. Speed/stalker ships from Keeneland where she finished 2nd of 11, beaten two lengths racing at this level going 8.5 furlongs. A fine effort, and filly came back to work a bullet half-mile here May 5. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Aurora Point) (2-1) - Like all entered in this small field, she's nicely bred. $500,000 daughter of 'Malibu Moon' chased and held down the place spot racing at this level and distance. Filly draws a nice outside post and is a win threat.

3rd pick: #5 (Going for Broke) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. She rallied to finish 2nd when debuting at Aqueduct going 6.5 furlongs April 10. She's worked twice since for Chad Brown (28% second time out). Trainer is even stronger on the stretch out in distance (32%).

4th pick: #4 (Chase Motto) (5-1) - The second of the Brown fillies, she's by 'Unbridled's Song' and cost $250K. Debuting 3yo has some fines works on view and has eleven published breezes since Feb. 21st. Must be left in the mix.
