Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DOLL) (8-5) - Speedy sort has been sharp in both starts since coming off a 3.5 month layoff Nov. 29. Latest saw her finishing a pace-setting second here going 6.5 furlongs and she shortens up a 1/16th of a mile for this atempt. $85,000 daughter of 'Verrazano' gets top billing.
2nd pick: #1 (Queenofeverything) (5-1) - The fields only 4yo, she tired after rushing up following a troubled break here Nov. 1 and was well behind 'Doll' that afternoon. However it was her first race since just missing July 28 at Saratoga and this speed/stalker draws the rail. Think she'll factor with a clean getaway.
3rd pick: #6 (Pendolino) (10-1) - Longshot rallied to finish second here racing for a $40K tag at this trip in a contest that was taken 'off the turf' Dec. 5. Back up in class for today's assignment, a fast and/or contested pace would help her chances out.
4th pick: #3 (A Bridge too Far) (8-1) - Lightly raced filly has been out of action since a wide and even effort debuting at a mile on the grass facing 'open' company Feb. 23 at Gulfstream Park. She has a fine series of works showing for her return and this $125K purchase will be sprinting on the dirt. She may impact at a square price if ready.
