Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (HALO DARLIN) (2-1) - This veteran mare has finished second here in two straight, the latest coming at this level and distance March 29. 6yo has a speed/stalking style, draws a fine ground saving post, and I giver a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Anonymously) (7-2) - A lightly raced and speedy 3yo, she's been competitive in five of her six starts and has finished 2nd on both grass attempts. A daughter of the versatile 'Gio Ponti', she missed by a 'neck' here at this level going 6.5 furlongs on the 'down the hill' turf course Jan 21, has blinkers added, and is a serious threat to go wire-to-wire this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Madaket Sunset) (3-1) - She set a pressured pace before weakening late, to finish 4th here March 29. 4yo was just over 2 lengths behind 'Halo Darlin' that day and her outside post will give rider Raf Bejarano some early options.
