Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (EMMZY) (5-2) - Filly enters off a close up 4th place finish here at this level going seven furlongs Feb. 28th. It was a nice move forward off her debut, and trainer Bob Baffert has worked this $370K purchase three times since.
2nd pick: #5 (Lily) (5-1) - $310,000 daughter of 'Uncle Mo' raced both wide and evenly when debuting here Jan. 16th. Heavily bet that day, she has an impressive series of works leading up to this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lisa's Joy) (10-1) - Home bred by 'Giacomo' ran evenly when finishing 4th of five when debuting here Feb. 25th. Working fast since, small barn (Herb Bacorn) adds blinkers. Can factor, but needs to do better.
4th pick: #7 (Fervent Femme) (7-2) - Filly was sharp when debuting here going seven furlongs Feb. 28th. She rated, bid while wide turning for home, then stayed on to finish 3rd of eight, beaten two lengths. It was an excellent first outing, and she's worked fast since. Must be left in the mix.
