Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (DOUBLE DOSE) (7-2) - Daughter of 'Flatter' is racing second of an eight month layoff. She raced evenly here on the dirt facing tougher in her return May 11. Filly cost $290,000 and trainer Todd Pletcher drops her into a $40K claimer for the first time. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #9 (Crimson Cat) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she's dropping in class and has blinkers added by trainer Barclay Tagg. filly weaken after pressing the pace going 8,5-furlongs for a $75K tag May 14. She's worked four times since and Javier Castellano stays aboard.

3rd pick: #1 (Rio Vista) (5-1) - Lightly-raced filly has been freshened up since April 28. Competitive in her first pair, she has the rail and her last three works heading into this were all on the quick side. Dangerous today.

4th pick: #3 (Citizen by Day) (8-1) - Even-paced type rallied to check in third here at this tag going seven furlongs May 5. The cut back in distance is not in her favor, but she has an experience edge on most and will be closing fast.

5th pick: #7 (Hundred Year Storm) (6-1) - Well bred 4-year-old has been a disappointment and is racing for the first time in eight months. She does have early speed and finished a pace-setting third here at this tag and trip when last in action (Oct 25).
