Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (WHOLEHEARTED) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Ken McPeek and the pair race uncoupled. Filly missed by a 'nose' at this level and distance April 7 at Keeneland and should win this with a repeat of that effort which gave her a career best figure.

2nd pick: #1 (StarQuest) (8-1) - Longshot had some trouble at the break March 30 at Oaklawn before rallying from far back to finish third when facing similar types. Four-year-old has a ground-saving post, is one of three entered who has won here before, and Gary Stevens stays aboard.

3rd pick: #3 (True Dream) (6-1) - The second of the pair from trainer McPeek, she drops in class after showing little facing tougher at Keeneland Park April 13.She was a sharp maiden winner at Turfway park March 17 and can factor with a repeat of that effort.

4th pick: #4 (Dance Rhythms) (6-1) - Stretch out sprinter ships from Gulfstream where she tired facing tougher going 6 furlongs April 6. She was competitive here last fall when still a maiden and trainer Dale Romans has one of his favorite riders Robby Albarado aboard.
