Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BEL CUORE) (4-1) - Freshened up since March 2, this home bred has breezed five times since March 16 for her return. Speedy 3yo has been competitive in three of five and is dropping down to today's $20K claiming price for the first time. She draws a good outside post at his distance, and Manny Franco is replacing apprentice Gutierrez.
2nd pick: #1 (Vampish) (7-2) - Away since debuting Aug. 3 at Saratoga, she broke poorly that day and tired after rushing up to be near the pace. Bet heavily that afternoon, she's down in class, has the rail, and Javier Castellano sticks with her.
3rd pick: #2 (Irish Lassie) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, she rushed up to contest the pace following a stumbling start and held gamely to finish 3rd at this tag and trip April 5 at Aqueduct. It was her first since coming from California, and first for trainer Rob Atras. She was bet heavily in that spot. An obvious win candidate at a short price.
