Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (EMERALD POND) (5-2) - She's making her third start back from a long layoff and is dropping in class. In the fine barn of Chad Brown, stalker draws a nice outside post and has Javier Castellano aboard.

2nd pick: #5 (Aussie Street) (4-1) - Filly is stretching out a furlong after rallying to finish second beaten a 'neck' going six furlongs here at this level May 22. It was her third back off a five month layoff and 4-year-old is an obvious threat.

3rd pick: #11 (Firestar) (15-1) - Longshot moves up in class and switches from dirt to grass in her first facing winners. Freshened up since May, she was an easy maiden winner that day here at this distance on a muddy surface. May factor today at a big price from a fine outside post.

4th pick: #6 (North Eight Street) (6-1) - He's racing second off a Michelle Nevin claim and a subsequent two-month layoff. She rallied to finish fourth last out while almost two-lengths behind 'Aussie Street.' Nice effort and the additional furlong she travels today is a plus.

5th pick: #1 (Nile Princess) (8-1) - She has the rail and last out she split 'Aussie' and 'North Eight Street.' No-speed type will need to avoid any traffic issues in this large field.
