Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TIME TO FLIRT) (4-1) - Filly drops down in class for her first race in two months. $145,000 daughter of 'Flatter' raced both wide and evenly in a pair of starts earlier this year at the Fair Grounds facing tougher. She ships in from Churchill Downs where she was training well above average to Brad Cox 2-for-2 at this meet.

2nd pick: #3 (Veil) (5-2) - Home bred is another dropping into a claimer for the first time. Four-year-old was beaten 4.5 lengths facing tougher at Gulfstream Park March 9 in her first race since late April of 2016. Filly has been working fast locally while trainer 'Shug' McGaughey has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard for the first time.

3rd pick: #2 (Jonquil) (7-2) - Daughter of grass sire 'Kitten's Joy' has been very sharp in three straight starts. Last out stretch runner was beaten a 'neck' going a mile at Aqueduct at this $75K price tag. She should factor again in this spot.

4th pick: #1 (Passing Moments) (6-1) - Making only her second start, home bred made a strong middle-move before tiring when debuting March 23 at Gulfstream facing tougher. Freshened up since, trainer Tim Hills drops her down and has Javier Castellano interested.
