Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DRIVEN BY SPEED) (9-2) - Repole home bred switches from dirt to grass, drops in class, and trainer Todd Pletcher has her making back-to-back starts for the first time. Filly is working fast and has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Questeq) (4-1) - Stalker shortens up a bit following a second place finish at this tag going a mile on the Aqueduct grass April 13. An obvious threat and Castellano is aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #8 (Dreamy Margarita) (5-1) - Longshot from the Rodriguez barn is switching to the grass after tiring in her dirt debut April 15. It's noted that Irad Ortiz Jr. is replacing apprentice Ayala.
4th pick: #5 (Lady's First) (8-1) - Longtime maiden moves back to the grass in her third back from a six month layoff. She's finish second in three-of-five turf starts and is a major player in this spot.
5th pick: #6 (Hope's Roar) (4-1) - Mare ships from Gulfstream where she was competitive in both starts on the grass after coming back from a long layoff (15.5 months) in late February. Must be left in the mix.
