Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FREE N CLEAR) (6-1) - Filly is lightly-raced and improving. She's finished second in two of three on the dirt and is racing on the grass for the first time. Speedy 3-year-old is bred to like the turf and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Ranger's Express) (5-2) - Veteran maiden is dropping in class and is back on the turf for the first time since late October. She finished third of 12, beaten a length that day and it came facing tougher. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Fly Ash) (15-1) - Longshot has some ability and is another trying the grass for the first time. Home bred is capable of being a factor in her current form if she handles the new surface.
4th pick: #7 (Flying K C) (6-1) - Away since Dec 13, speedy mare has been competitive in four of seven previous starts on the grass. One of her best ever came on this course when she ran second in Nov. of 2013.
5th pick: #1 (Weekend Hottie) (7-2) - No-speed type has finished third in both previous races on this course. A stretch threat if ready for her first since Nov 26.
