Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (TAKREES) (2-1) - Since switching to the dirt following a turf debut Oct. 31st, filly has gone 4-1-3-0. One run type is in shape, and last out at Aqueduct she missed by a 'neck' in a $118K sprint stakes March 26. Working fine since, she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Estelle) (5-2) - Dangerous opponent has early speed and ships from Gulfstream where she finished a close up 3rd at this level going seven furlongs. Win candidate, Godolphin owned filly should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #5 (Laxfield Road) (4-1) - The field's 'wild card,' she hasn't raced since finishing a pace setting 3rd in a sprint stakes on the grass Aug. 19th at Saratoga. Very fast from the gate, she's been drilling in Kentucky for her return. Trainer Wesley Ward has won with 22 of 60 (37%) off of long layoffs over the past 16 months. Dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #7 (Wave of Glory) (20-1) - She looked sharp when winning here debut here Sept. 13th, but hasn't won again in five follow up starts. On the sidelines since March 10, grey filly is training fine and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into. May grab a share at a big price.
