Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CAJUN BABE) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced mare has good early speed and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Five-year-old tired last out after dueling with a much the best winner here at this tag and trip Jan. 28. She worked fast Feb. 18 and seems set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #3 (A Costly Prayer) (2-1) - Filly has finished second in two straight here going longer. Freshened up since Jan. 13, she can factor with a repeat of either of her last pair.
3rd pick: #1 (Chikoree) (7-2) - Another that's lightly-raced, filly has finished second here in two of her last three starts. Both have come at this $10K claiming price at this five-furlong distance and stalker draws a ground saving post.
4th pick: #7 (Jackie Slew) (8-1) - Tough call on this one. She's been competitive several times in the past facing tougher. However, mare hasn't raced since early July when her overall form was in decline. Can impact, but would need to be at her best.
5th pick: #9 (My Nugget) (15-1) - Stalker finished an even fourth here at this tag and trip Jan 28. A bit more competitive since dropping down to this $10K tag, mare may grab a share at a big price.
