Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PAID SUBSCRIBER) (5-2) - Mare tuned up for this with a third place finish in the G1 Madison Stakes at Keeneland going 7-furlongs April 8. It was her first race since Oct 9 and she's worked fast twice since. 5yo is a perfect 3 for 2 at Churchill while the rest of field has one win combined locally.

2nd pick: #6 (Streamline) (6-1) - She ships from Oaklawn where mare had a her second straight solid meet there. She upset the field in the G2 Azeri Stakes March 18, then finished an even third in the Apple Blossom Stakes (G1) April 14. She's been competitive in both previous starts without winning either. Factors today.

3rd pick: #1 (Eskenformoney) (6-1) - Stalker has more tactical speed than most and mare breaks from the rail. Freshened up since March 18, she finished a length behind 'Streamline' that afternoon in the G2 Azeri Stakes at Oaklawn.

4th pick: #3 (Big World) (20-1) - Longshot has good early speed and Louisiana bred is 6 for 10 overall. 4yo has beaten 'open' company in the past and she enters on a three race winning streak.
