Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (COUNTRY STRONG) (9-5) - Filly has finished in three straight, the latest coming here at this tag and trip Feb. 14. It was her first race in two months and this 4yo meets a very weak field this afternoon.
2nd pick: #7 (Money Purse) (6-1) - She moves back to the dirt after a very troubled effort sprinting on the grass March 6. One run type was competitive several times on the dirt at this level prior to that and is in the mix.
3rd pick: #2 (Cocktails Or Candy) (5-1) - She set the pace before weakening to check in a distant second at this tag and trip March 3. However, she's been no match facing 'Country Strong' in the past and has also been defeated by 'Money Purse' the two times they've met. I believe a minor award is her ceiling.
