Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (DIXIE DAME) (3-1) - Away since early May, filly finished second in four straight starts here at and around this claiming price before heading in for the long layoff. Training nicely for the D'Amato barn (27% off of long breaks), speed/stalker can take this if ready

2nd pick: #6 (Let the Girl Go) (6-1) - She had a great spot turning for home March 13, but she came up a bit short at crunch time. It was her first start seven months so it's understandable if she needed the race for conditioning purposes. Win threat.

3rd pick: #5 (Warren's Honey Bee) (5-1) - Lightly-raced mare rallied to check in second of nine, beaten a 1/2 length going 5.5-furlongs here at this claiming price March 13. Can factor right back if it's repeatable.

4th pick: #8 (Gymnast Jadie) (4-1) - Grey 4-year-old has early speed and was heavily bet last out. Racing at this level March 17, she chased a very fast pace before weakening to finish a distant third. It was her first in a claimer and first on the dirt. It's noted that Bejarano stays aboard.
