Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DOWNTOWN AT NOON) (5-2) - Speed/stalker stretches out to a mile following a pair of back-to-back second place finishes at this level going six furlongs. Lightly-raced 3-year-old gets a slight edge over the the rail runner.
2nd pick: #1 (Decorator Jenn) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, 'Jenn' has finished second in all three appearances. Speedy sort has the rail and comes off a pace setting effort at this level and distance on the inner surface March 17. Trainer Linda Rice has Jose Ortiz replacing apprentice Diaz. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Majestic Mac) (9-2) - Away from action since Jan. 2, she's working steadily for her new trainer (Gary Contessa). He adds both lasix and blinkers and has Irad Ortiz Jr. signed on. Dangerous from off the pace if ready.
