Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (LIL JESSICA) (7-2) - Speedy filly tired last out at Santa Anita after setting a pressured pace. Home bred was more competitive in her first pair and missed by less than a length there racing at this tag and trip when debuting Jan 16. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Evening Again) (5-2) - Grey filly has been sharp in two of her last three with each coming at this $30,000 claiming price. She finished third here April 14 in what was a career best to date. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Quality Kay) (3-1) - She's one of four making their debuts and is from a top outfit (Phil D'Amato). Bred for speed, 3-year-old has been working above average locally since March 25. She need not be much to factor against this crew.
4th pick: #5 (Fiftypercentcotton) (6-1) - Another making her first start, daughter of the speedy 'High Cotton' has been in steady training at Santa Anita since late December. Many of the drills are above average and believe she'll b e a big price this afternoon.
