Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DIAL A DATE) (8-5) - Very lightly raced 5yo mare is coming off an early March layoff. She has early speed, draws the rail, and is trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Working fast, trainer Carla Gaines is dropping her into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #9 (Mariota) (5-1) - She's raced evenly without threatening in all three starts facing tougher. Freshened up since March 26, trainer Mark Glatt removes her blinkers and has her facing claimers for the first time. A dangerous price play.
3rd pick: #8 (Lady Cloud) (8-1) - Another who tends to run evenly, daughter of 'Broken Vow' was beaten 5.5 lengths here at this distance for a $75,000 claiming price April 3. Barn has worked her four times since and drops her farther down in class.
4th pick: #5 (Scattagirl) (6-1) - On the sidelines since late August, she's working steadily for her return. Trainer Lenny Powell drops her to a new low and has Flavian Prat aboard.
