Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MAJESTIC JESSICA) (4-1) - Filly is racing first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 32% winning angle) and a subsequent 2.5-month layoff. Working steadily, when last in action she easily defeated $25K 'open' 3l claimers at this distance Jan 17. She has the rail and gets the call.

2nd pick: #3 (Splendid Gold) (2-1) - Very fast from the gate, she's cutting back in distance after tiring when sen around two turns at this level March 20. Daughter of 'Mineshaft' is a perfect three-for-three at this distance and is a win threat on the front end.

3rd pick: #6 (Shotgun Love) (3-1) - Mare has developed into a very consistent performer for trainer Dom Schettino. That all started with a win in late August at Saratoga and she's gone 6-3-1-2 since that time. Speed/stalker has won on the main track here in the past and 5-year-old by 'Posse' draws outside of the sped.

4th pick: #2 (Spuntastic) (8-1) - Freshened up since Jan 17, daughter of 'Hard Spun' rallied to win a first-level allowance for state breds at this distance that afternoon. Four-year-old should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into, but will need to step it up for anything more than a minor award.
