Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (QUEEN KAHEN) (2-1) - Zayat home bred was involved every step when missing by just under a length when debuting at Aqueduct going 5.5 furlongs for a $50K claiming tag April 18. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez drops her down to a $30,000 price for this attempt and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Forbidden Frolic) (5-2) - A $90,000 daughter of 'Verrazano', she ships from Laurel where trainer Linda Rice debuted her in a grass sprint facing special weights April 22. She raced both evenly and greenly and Rice (34% 2nd time out) switches her to the dirt (19), drops her into a claimer (30%) and adds blinkers (44%). A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Bizness Beauty) (6-1) - The field's most experienced maiden is cutting back to a sprint after finishing a very distant second here going 8.5 furlongs in an 'off the turf' contest May 5. Unless there's a complete pace collapse this no speed type is destined for a minor award.
