Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (NORTH END) (2-1) - Lasix is added to this filly who is stretching out in distance. She rallied from far back to finish 2nd when debuting here at this level in a six-furlong sprint Feb. 4. Trainer Chad Brown (26% second time out) has worked her four times since and all have been well above average.
2nd pick: #1 (Decorator Jenn) (5-2) - This daughter of the hard hitting 'Shackleford' has finished 2nd in both starts. The latest came at this level and distance Feb. 19. She has the rail, is from a hot barn (Linda Rice), and 3yo drops 10 lbs with apprentice Diaz aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Scarlett Jo Hansen) (5-1) - Grey filly cost $100,000 as a 2yo in training last April. She finished a distant 3rd when debuting at this level and distance Jan. 27. She did not have a clean break and was forced far back in the early stages. Daughter of 'Hansen' has worked four times since, including a bullet five furlongs Feb. 27 at Belmont. Look for an improved effort from her.
