Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BELLE LAURA) (4-1) - She set a pressured pace before weakening late to finish a close up 3rd here going 8.5 furlongs in a G3 stakes March 2. It was her first start since a wide and even effort in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) Nov. 2 at Churchill Downs. She's worked twice since, should be much sharper today, and trainer Norm Casse has John Velazquez aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #6 (Positive Skew) (2-1) - A daughter of 'City Zip,' she broke her maiden here at 7.5 furlongs Jan. 6. Given almost three months off by trainer Chad Brown, she's been working steadily at the Palm Meadows Center and is an obvious threat today.

3rd pick: #5 (Trenchtown Cat) (7-2) - Lightly raced filly has been very sharp in both five-furlong sprints and is stretching out around two turns for the first time today. She broke her maiden here at five furlongs Feb. 17, is working fast, Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard, and this runner is in the win mix.
