Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (DESERT EMPRESS) (5-2) - Daughter of Travers Stakes (G1) winner 'Flower Alley' ships from the Fair Grounds where she broke her maiden going 6 furlongs facing fellow La. breds for a $12,500 tag March 10. Nicely spotted by trainer Karl Broberg and she can win right back.

2nd pick: #5 (Tiz Gossip) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, she raced wide facing tougher going 7 furlongs at Delta Downs March 8. She just missed (a 'neck") at this level and distance in her previous start there (Feb 8) and can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #7 (Golden Bombshell) (5-1) - Fair Grounds invader finished 2nd there facing similar types going a mile March 15. It was a surprise at odds of 28-1 following a series of poor attempts, but can impact if it's repeatable.

4th pick: #3 (My Nilla) (4-1) - The main speed, 3yo broke her maiden by 3 1/2 lengths in gate-to-wire fashion at the Fair Grounds March 31. She's back on a quick turnaround and must be left in the mix.
