Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ASIAN'S WAY) (5-1) - Grey filly ships in from Oaklawn Park where she finished a pace-setting second on a dirt sprint March 13. Four-year-old is making her grass debut, is bred for he surface, and the high-percentage barn of Bob Diodoro has her set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #12 (Really) (6-1) - Another making her grass debut, speed/stalker was an impressive maiden winner at this trip on the Aqueduct dirt April 2. A career best, she's well bred and has plenty of room for upside.
3rd pick: #9 (Lulu's Blues) (7-2) - On the sidelines since early October, she was competitive in four of five dirt sprints in 2016. Stretch runner fits if ready and is a late threat if that's the case.
4th pick: #7 (Esther the Queen) (15-1) - Mare is racing first off a Michelle Nevin claim (16%). This 5-year-old has been at this 2l condition a long time, but has been competitive facing weaker many times in the past in grass sprints. Can factor, but this field drew tough for the level.
5th pick: #5 (Veil Dance) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced 4-year-old hasn't raced since November 8. Competitive last fall in two of three at this level, she'll to be at her best of the layoff.
