Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SWEETRAYOFSUNSHINE) (5-2) - Older grey mare has won 15-of-37 starts during her career but has been showing some age woes and has been dropping down the claiming ladder. She missed by a 'head' March 17 on the inner-surface going six furlongs for a $20K tag and drops in half for this attempt. She's won both previous starts on the Aqueduct main track and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Spectacular Flash) (3-1) - Stalker tired while racing wide in a small stakes here April 1. She had won her previous start at this $10K claiming price and draws a good outside post for this 6.5 furlong distance.
3rd pick: #5 (Lady Luciano) (8-1) - Consistent veteran enters in good form and stalker has been competitive in four straight when racing in claimers. Six-year-old must be left in the mix at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Julie D) (7-2) - Speedy mare has been freshened up since Feb. 17. Capable when in shape, she was an easy winner Jan. 5 the last time she raced at this $10,000 price tag. She's won six-of-nine on the dirt and is dangerous if allowed to get an uncontested early lead.
