Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SCATHING) (7-2) - Grey filly moves up in class and shortens up in distance in her first following a Vlad Cerin claim. She rallied to win here going a mile for a $12,500 claiming price the day she changed barns (March 30). She has more speed than the rest, and her outside post in this seven-furlong contest will give rider Marty Garcia some options in the first 1/2-mile.

2nd pick: #3 (Princess Kendra) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she moves up just a bit, and stretches out a furlong. 4yo rallied to win going six furlongs for a $12,500 tag March 26. It was her second back following a three month rest, and state bred is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Dragon Flower) (5-2) - She tired after setting the pace to finish 3rd going a mile here in a small field (five) March 12. Claimed that day by Jack Carava for $20K, he drops her down, and shortens her up in distance. Stretch threat.
