Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HOTALING HEART) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she's finished second the last two times racing at this $3,000 claiming price. Cal bred mare is racing back into her best form after coming off a 10 week break Feb 8. 5-year-old has the rail, a flexible style, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Coconut Cream Pie) (3-1) - Once classier mare has a fine record on the local dirt 8-3-1-2. She has the best early speed of this group and enters off a win at this claiming price going six furlongs March 9. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (A P Pepper) (6-1) - Mare was a winner here at this tag and trip Jan 30. In three follow up starts since then, 5-year-old has raced evenly. In a winning barn (Ed Kereluk) she was three lengths behind 'Hotaling Heart' March 6. Can factor at a square price.
