Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ELEMENTSOFHARMONY) (10-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since April 24 when she was claimed at Aqueduct for $25K by trainer Mike Maker. She has talent, is working well, and has been competitive in four of her five turf starts. Maker wins at a 23% clip first of the claim and this lightly-raced 4-year-old has a solid shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #2 (Sense of Beauty) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. $325K daughter of 'Street Sense' is working fast for her first race ever around two-turns. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #10 (Candida) (7-2) - The second of the Pletcher Fillies, I would like her a bit more if she had a better post. Stretch runner will need to work out a trip from this marooned starting slot. With John Velazquez opting for 'Sense of Beauty', Javier Castellano takes over the riding chores.

4th pick: #8 (Scarlet Goddess) (20-1) - Longshot is stretching out in distance and is racing on the grass, both for the first time. Speedy filly is racing first off a Gary Gullo claim (29%) and will take them as far as she can.
