Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (AVENGE) (8-5) - The field's only G1 winner, she did so at Santa Anita last October when she went wire-to-wire to win the Rodeo Drive Stakes. Beaten by only a length Nov. 5 in the $2,000,000 Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Turf, she was sent in for a half-year's break at that time. In her return at Santa Anita May 27, she tired to finish 3rd in the G1 Gamely Stakes to the very talented 'Lady Eli.' She'll be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #7 (Cambodia) (7-2) - East Coast invader is clearly improving and has been working very fast since arriving from the mid-Atlantic region. Competitive in all six starts since coming back from a 10-month layoff in October, she's dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Hillhouse High) (4-1) - Consistent facing weaker, she's been freshened up since early May. She won a G2 at Santa Anita April 8 and is capable of impacting if ready with her best.
