Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (COGNITIVE) (5-1) - Santa Anita shipper has been working fast there before shipping and is stretching out around two-turns for the first time. Speedy daughter of 'Uncle Mo' is lightly-raced and from the barn of Bob Bafert (a strong 32% on the distance stretch).
2nd pick: #9 (Banshee Birdie) (15-1) - Longshot was a very impressive maiden winner going a mile April 11 at Oaklawn Park. Stalker drew away to win by almost 8 lengths and did it well within herself. Daughter of 'Birdstone' is dangerous at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (Ox Eyed Daisy) (9-2) - Calumet home bred ships from Gulfstream where she was a 4 length maiden winner going a one-turn mile March 29. In the barn of Todd Pletcher. he has her taking the next logical step for her first facing winners.
4th pick: #10 (Gio Game) (3-1) - Filly rallied after saving ground to miss by a 1/2 length at this level and distance April 13 at Keeneland. By far a career best, it came in her second back from a 4.5 month layoff. The probable favorite and an obvious threat, but no 'lock' at a short price.
