Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (IN IT FOR THE GOLD) (5-1) - Away since Oct. 23, filly showed some early speed last year, and was well backed in three of her four starts. $225,000 daughter of 'Speightstown' is working steadily locally for her return, and she can factor at a square price if ready.

2nd pick: #1 (Privy Council) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she chased and held down the place spot here at this level going 6.5-furlongs June 8. It was her first start in just under 14 months, and she's an obvious strong win candidate from her inside post.

3rd pick: #10 (Parade) (12-1) - Longshot broke poorly and raced evenly while never involved when debuting in a two-turn grass contest at Aqueduct April 12. Phipps filly is a daughter of top stallion 'Tapit' and races with blinkers on. Trainer 'Shug' McGaughey wins at a 23% rate second time out and at a 24% clip when adding the 'hood.'

4th pick: #6 (Heavenly Grace) (9-2) - Another daughter of 'Tapit,' she finished 3rd when debuting here going six furlongs Oct. 16. On the sidelines since, she has a solid series of works showing, and is a factor if ready.
