Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FRAU BULCHER) (3-1) - This home bred tired while wide when debuting here against tougher Feb. 24. Down in class today, she has Lasix added, and trainer Michelle Nevin has Irad Ortiz aboard for this attempt.
2nd pick: #2 (Straw Hat) (7-2) - Filly has been freshened up since finishing a distant 2nd at this level and distance on a sloppy track Feb. 11. 3yo has early speed, breaks just off the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Wild Witch) (10-1) - Grey filly is racing third back following a five-month layoff and is racing in a claimer for the first time. Early speed is her game, and front end expert Kendrick Carmouche is aboard for the first time. Longshot possibilities.
4th pick: #8 (Sister Sparrow) (5-1) - She tired badly when debuting here facing tougher Feb. 16. Good barn (Jeremiah Englehart) drops her down today, and she enters off a fine half-mile breeze at Belmont April 3.
