Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (EXPECT WONDERFUL) (2-1) - Filly finished a close up 3rd when debuting at Laurel facing 'open' company Feb. 5. She's worked since, trainer Mark Reid has her in with fellow sate-breds in this spot, and it's a plus that jockey Julien Pimentel comes up for the mount.
2nd pick: #4 (Might Be) (8-1) - Debuting grey filly ships up from Palm Meadows in Florida where she's breezed a half-dozen times since Jan. 1. Several of the works are on the quick side, and daughter of 'Posse' is from a capable barn (Alan Goldberg).
3rd pick: #1 (Zealous Scholar) (5-2) - The probable pace setter, she was involved in a front-end duel before weakening to finish 3rd here at this level and distance Feb. 4. She has the rail and is very dangerous if able to get an uncontested early advantage.
4th pick: #7 (Grassmiss) (10-1) - Filly moves up in class after being competitive in her first pair facing weaker. Stalker has finished close up in each and moves off the rail for this attempt.
