Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TAKREES) (7-2) - Lightly-raced Shadwell home bred faces winners following an impressive maiden win here at this distance Feb 7. It was her first start since Dec 12 and she worked a bullet three furlongs at Belmont March 6. Can win right back.
2nd pick: #1 (It's a Journey) (6-1) - One of two fillies entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. On the sidelines Pa bred won her first pair last fall at Penn National before finishing a distant second in a $75K stakes for fellow state breds. Stalker has the rail and can factor if ready.
3rd pick: #5 (Wave of Glory) (20-1) - Grey filly was sharp in her first pair last fall, but has regressed since that time. Generazio home bred is working both steadily and above average and is a threat at long odds.
4th pick: #7 (Annie Rocks) (3-1) - Tampa Bay invader broke her maiden there Jan 23. She has early speed and was sold privately her win to New York regular Michael Dubb. She's now in the barn of his long time trainer Rudy Rodriguez. Must be left in the mix.
