Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (BACKSTAGE STAR) (7-2) - She ships from the Fair Grounds where she rallied while wide to finish fourth at this level going 8.5 furlongs March 22. Strong finisher is shortening up in distance, draws a fine post at this trip, and Tim Thornton is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #1 (Pretty Production) (4-1) - She defeated 'Backstage Star' last out but was disqualified from the win and placed second. Mare cuts back in distance, has the rail, and Diego Saenz stays aboard her. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Miss Brenda) (6-1) - She has more positional speed that the top two selections and is dropping down to this $5,000 price tag for the first time. Longshot is a win candidate at this reduced level.
