Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (FIRST APPEAL) (4-1) - Home bred ships up from Tampa Bay Downs where she raced evenly after some trouble at the break when debuting March 11. Well bred, she's worked twice since and is from a great second out barn of Arnaud Delacour (31%). Daughter of 'First Defence' draws a nice outside post and is in with fellow New York breds this afternoon.
2nd pick: #11 (Jazzy Juder) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. Four-year-old was pinched at the break and raced greenly when debuting at this level and distance Feb. 20. She's worked three times in the past 26 days, has blinkers on, and has a fine outside post for this 6.5 furlong distance. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Dreamy Margarita) (10-1) - The second of the Rodriguez pair, she's one of five making their debuts. Home bred 3-year-old has breezed here six times since March 3. Barn is capable first out and this filly will be a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Tapceptional) (12-1) - Another of the first-time starters, grey filly spent the weekend training at Tampa Bay Downs and had a sharp three furlong gate breeze April 12 at Belmont Park.
