Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SMILING ANNIE) (4-1) - She finished 4th here at this level and distance March 22, and was a 1/2-length in back of today's rival, 'Cheap Cheap Cheap.' This 5yo mare had a wide trip then, draws better today, and has a fine series of works showing for this attempt. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Square Peggy) (7-2) - This speedy veteran moves back to the grass after tiring while going 6.5 furlongs on the main track here at this level March 14. It was her first off a Vlad Cerin claim, and this 4yo had checked in 2nd at this distance on the grass Jan. 12. She's one of three in for the optional $20,000 claiming price and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #1 (Cheap Cheap Cheap) (7-2) - A Reddam home-bred by 'Square Eddie,' she finished a close-up 3rd here at this level and distance March 22. It was her first since a maiden win at Los Alamitos July 6, and also her first on the grass. Lightly raced, she has plenty of room for upside, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Rosey Sky) (3-1) - She broke her maiden here at this distance Jan. 19 in only her second start and first since May 11 of 2019. Speedy sort tired at this level March 6 facing males and is back in with her own sex for this attempt. Lightly raced, she can't be eliminated in a contentious small field.
