Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (DROP OF VANILLA) (7-2) - Lightly-raced filly rallied to finish second here facing weaker April 6. It was her best so far and Idaho bred draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong distance. Three-year-old has a solid chance of upsetting the presumed heavy favorite.

2nd pick: #5 (Kodiak Kwik) (6-5) - The morning line and presumed favorite, she's raced evenly in all three starts facing tougher. Away slowly in her first pair, 3-year-old ran evenly against better March 29 when she broke without incident. An obvious threat at this reduced level.

3rd pick: #2 (Changed Life) (4-1) - Calif. bred has some early speed and last out she checked in third of seven when facing weaker. Lightly-raced filly has leading rider Scott Stevens aboard for the first time and that indicates that her connections like her chances.
