Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (LEAH'S DREAM) (2-1) - Filly takes a drop in class and moves from grass to dirt in her third start back of a 10 month layoff. Speed/stalker had a very wide trip facing tougher on the local turf April 28 following a career best March 18 on the main track at Aqueduct. Looks set for her maiden win.

2nd pick: #9 (First Appeal) (4-1) - She missed by a 'neck' here at this price tag April 15. Claimed that day by Dave Cannizzo, she tired while wide facing tougher April 29 for the new barn. Her connections drop her back down to the claimed level and she's a strong win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Mysideofthestreet) (5-1) - Mid-Atlantic shipper rallied to miss by a 'neck' sprinting on the Laurel turf for a $16K claiming price April 15. A career best, it came fresh of a two month break. She's worked fast since and has run well on the main track in the past.

4th pick: #12 (Giant Ending) (4-1) - The field's lone main track only entrant, he's been competitive in two of his last three. His lack of speed is a minus and he'll need some pace help for anything more than a minor award.
