Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LOVE ME IN MALIBU) (3-1) - Gulfstream shipper is shortening up in distance and moves from grass to dirt. Filly rallied to miss by a 1/2 length there March 25 going 7.5 furlongs at this $20K price tag. $220K purchase meets a weak field and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #10 (Reallyareyakiddin) (15-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since Feb. 17. Home bred rallied following a slow break to finish a distant second that day facing a bit tougher at Turfway Park. Think she can impact at a big rice.
3rd pick: #8 (Lyons Bay Vista) (9-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced, she ships from Tampa Bay Downs where she finished a distant pacesetting second there April 2. She should be involved every step.
4th pick: #3 (Truly Brilliant) (10-1) - Longshot has been idle since early September. Speed/stalker is working fast for her return and will race with lasix administered and blinkers off. She showed enough talent last year to be competitive with this field if ready.
