Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (TROUBLE FOR SKYLAR) (2-1) - Well bred filly drops back down in class after missing by a 'head' facing starter-allowance foes ($50,000 level) at this distance March 31 at Aqueduct. Se was a 12-length winner for a $16K tag March 9 to clear the 2l, and she'll be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #2 (Starlite Mission) (3-1) - State bred filly drops in class and moves back in with 'open' company after rallying while wide to finish 3rd at Aqueduct while facing optional $40,000 claimers/n2x foes March 29. Stretch runner has plenty of back class and gets a major rider upgrade to Joel Roasrio for this attempt.

3rd pick: #5 (Promise Me Roses) (5-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Rudy Rodriguez, and the pair race uncoupled. She broke poorly last out and eventually finished eight lengths in back of 'Trouble For Skylar' that afternoon. She had been competitive in four straight prior to that and will be today with a clean beginning.

4th pick: #6 (Bowl of Kisses) (5-2) - The second of the pair from trainer Rudy Rodriguez, this lightly raced mare moves up a bit after missing by a 1/2-length for a $25K tag at this 3l condition April 5. An obvious contender, but at a short price.
