Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TOPAZ TIME) (4-1) - Mare is racing into shape since coming back from 13 months on the sidelines Nov. 17. She raced both wide and evenly here going a mile on the grass for twice this tag March 1. It was her best overall since returning, is dropping back down, shortening up in distance, and moving back to the dirt. She gets a slim edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Blame the Weather) (2-1) - Very lightly-raced 5-year-old mare has the best early speed and comes back in 16 days after finishing a tiring third at this tag and trip March 29. An obvious win candidate and the probable favorite.
3rd pick: #3 (Tengs Wonder) (8-1) - Away slowly when debuting in a sprint here at this level March 17 she ran evenly while never involved. Trainer Vann Belvoir adds blinkers and has her dropping 9 lbs with apprentice Espinoza aboard. If she has any ability it should show today.
