Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SPLENDID GOLD) (2-1) - The main speed, filly has won four races in a row. The latest came here Feb. 12th when she was a 10-length winner here going six furlongs in an entry-level allowance for New York breds. It was a career best, and trainer Chris Englehart will stretch her out around two turns for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (Literata) (5-2) - Mare missed by a 'head' here racing at this level and distance Feb. 26th. It was her first since Jan. 7th when leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez claimed her for $40,000. Effort was a career best, and she's a win threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Jc's Shooting Star) (3-1) - In a bit of a racing rarity, she and her half-sister, #1 'JC's American Dream,' are facing off against each other. This filly was only a 'neck' behind 'Literata' last out and had the lead in mid-stretch before weakening under pressure. A repeat of that effort makes her a contender.
