Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BURKE'S GARDEN) (2-1) - Filly by "Speightstown' takes a big drop in class while shortening up in distance. She broke her maiden here at this trip Dec. 14 and has tired in both starts facing winners against tougher foes since then. She meets a weak field, has John Velazquez staying aboard, and 3-year-old trained by Bill Mott gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Catharsis) (5-2) - Speedy filly has been competitive in three straight here at this distance and is another dropping down. She finished a pace-chasing second at this trip facing tougher Feb. 23 and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Dawn Lightning) (4-1) - Freshened up since Jan. 24 she's facing winners for the first time. Grey filly by 'The Factor' rallied to win 'going away' at this distance for a $20K tag and earned by far a career best figure that afternoon. She must be left in the mix.
