Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (BEA BEA) (3-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'City Zip' has been on the sidelines since Nov 29. She tired that afternoon on Aqueduct's main track at this level going 6.5-furlongs. Grey filly had been competitive in her three prior starts including a pair on the grass. She rallied to miss by a 1/2 length here at this trip on the turf Sept 12 and spent the winter training regularly in Florida at Palm Meadows. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #8 (Same Kinda Crazy) (10-1) - Longshot has early speed and will be racing on the turf for the first time. Daughter of 'Posse' is bred to enjoy the grass and she has a recency edge on several returnees. Can impact in this spot at a big price.
3rd pick: #11 (Ragazza Di Papa) (7-2) - Un-raced since Nov 6, filly by 'Scat Daddy' rallied to finish fourth in both starts last fall. Stretch runner was beaten by small margins in each and can factor if ready.
4th pick: #4 (Classy Chris) (5-1) - One of two making their debuts, she spent the winter training on the synthetic surface at the Ocala Center in Florida. In a capable small barn (Lisa Lewis) and her main rider (Joel Rosario) is aboard.
5th pick: #5 (Forma's Joy) (30-1) - Longshot tends to race evenly in most all her appearances. That led to some efforts here last year at this level and distance that could get her a minor award at a very big price.
