Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (HALF FAST ROSE) (4-1) - Veteran mare ships from the Fair Grounds and has some changes today that can land her in the winner's circle. Six-year-old is dropping back down in class and is stretching out to her favorite distance (11-4-0-3). She was a winner two back at this level and will be tough with a repeat of that effort.

2nd pick: #1 (Havingfunyet) (2-1) - She moves back to the turf following an even effort here at this level and distance on the main track April 11. Filly had won four in a row on the grass prior to that and stretch runner draws a ground saving post.

3rd pick: #6 (Celtic Lass) (3-1) - Mare fits at the level but gives away a lot of grass experience to both 'Half Fast Rose' and 'Havingfunyet'. She's one for two on the turf and enters off a second place finish at this condition and distance on the dirt April 1. May grab a share but she needs to do better for anything more than that.

4th pick: #5 (Double Down Brit) (8-1) - She rated before making a strong bid while wide before weakening to be beaten 5.5 lengths here at this level and distance on the grass April 20. It was her first since Feb. 2 when she was claimed here by Pete Derousselle for $4000. Mare has more early speed than most and she may last for a share at a big price.
