Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (DARLIN DIANE) - Speedy and lightly raced daughter of "Speightstown" ships in from Oaklawn where she won two of her thre starts and in her lone poor effort she pressed a fast pace while between runners and tired during the streth run. Trainer Bret Calhoun drops her a bit in price and she's the main speed. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Brickyard Helen) - Filly won for twice this price on Feb. 24th at the Fair Grounds to pick up her second win and has tired in her last pair facing entry-level allowance foes. Drops and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Sing Sing Cindrela) - She's a good filly on both turf and synthetics but her two races on conventional dirt she hasn't shown much. Those are the negatives, the plusses are she races first off a positive barn switch to Wesley Ward via a claim and she brings a stalking style to a contest where the pace could be fast.
