Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BLUE MOONRISE) (3-1) - This $500,000 purchase moves up in class following an easy gate-to-wire score here going 8.5 furlongs facing weaker Feb. 28. It's noted that the filly she defeated by 3.5 lengths came back to win by daylight the other day, and I think this 4yo will be tough to catch on the front end.
2nd pick: #3 (Motion Emotion) (7-2) - Filly gets some class relief after three straight stakes appearances. She tired in her last pair to finish 'off the board,' but won the Zia Park Oaks in New Mexico Nov. 27. Speed/stalker should factor today.
3rd pick: #4 (English Soul) (5-1) - Mare has some fine works showing at Keeneland in preparing for her first race since Dec. 21. A stakes winner on the NYRA circuit facing fellow New York-breds, she fits with her best, but gives away a recency edge to the top two selections.
