Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SOUTHERN MISCHIEF) (2-1) - One of two entered by Bob Baffert, this filly rallied to finish 2nd, going 5.5-furlongs for a $100K claiming price May 21. She's worked fast since and will be racing with blinkers back on following a one race absence.

2nd pick: #1 (Settle Down Eileen) (5-1) - Away a bit slowly last out, she rallied to finish 4th, only 2.5 lengths in back of 'Southern Mischief.' Filly had finished 2nd here in her previous pair, and both of those came facing tougher.

3rd pick: #7 (Tiki Bar Logic) (3-1) - She didn't show much in four starts last year facing tougher, but it's noted that she received betting action in three of those. Sent in for a seven-month layoff, she missed by just under a length in her return to action June 9. She worked fast June 22 and must be left in the win mix.

4th pick: #2 (Runnin for Tuition) (8-1) - Speedy sort tired badly in the same May 21 as three of today's rivals. Much sharper in her previous pair, her early speed is a bit dangerous in this spot.
