Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (IT'S ELEMENTARY) (3-1) - Trainer Chad Brown leaves this filly in despite the contest being switched to the dirt. Four-year-old ran evenly here racing on the grass facing tougher just 19 days ago. Brown (26% second-time out) drops her in class (47%), and has Castellano aboard. Trainer and jockey have won with 63 of 210 (30%) over the past 13 months.

2nd pick: #10 (Opie) (8-1) - Long shot has raced evenly in both starts on the grass. She 'nibbled' a few times on the dirt last spring and can factor at a big price.

3rd pick: #3 (Variety of Colors) (4-1) - Filly is racing second back off a pair of short layoffs. Competitive several times on the grass at this tag, home bred is trying the dirt for the first time.

4th pick: #1 (Check Your Six) (7-2) - Well bred filly rallied to finish second here at this tag on the grass Jan 14. Clearly better on the turf, she did finish second last March sprinting on the Penn National dirt. Must be left in the mix.
