Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (DIVINE MISS GREY) (3-1) - Dating back to March of 2017 this filly has won 7-of-11 starts with one of those defeats coming on the grass while another came in a G1 stakes. Speed/stalker has won 3-of-4 locally, is 2-for-3 at this distance, and enters in career best form. She gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Sounds Delicious) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. The morning line favorite, 4-year-old has won 5-of-6 start and missed by a 'neck' in her lone loss. She was an easy 8 length winner here going 6 furlongs in the $100K Correction Stakes March 17 and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.

3rd pick: #3 (Torrent) (8-1) - Oaklawn invader is shortening up in distance following a second and third place there in stakes going 8.5 furlongs. Capable at this distance, she finished a close up third at it last fall at Keeneland in a G2 stakes. A stretch factor at a square price.

4th pick: #7 (Holiday Disguise) (9-2) - The second of the pair from Linda Rice, New York bred was almost 7 lengths behind 'Divine Miss Grey'in a $147K stakes going a mile March 10. She's won four of her last five, is 2-for-2 at this distance, and stretch runner has Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard.
