Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (L'ATELIER) (5-2) - Filly ships from the Fair Grounds where she raced wide and evenly when finishing fourth in a grass sprint for a $20K tag March 27. Trainer Brett Brinkman drops her down to the price ($12,500) he claimed her for Feb. 12 and $50K purchase meets a weak looking field.

2nd pick: #3 (Moment to Moment) (7-2) - Mare is nearing 5.5-years-old and is only making her third start, so she has some issues. Home bred is dropping into a claimer for the first time and trainer Sam Breaux has her making back-to-back starts. She should show whatever she has in this spot.

3rd pick: #7 (Carson's Katie) (4-1) - Grey filly ships from the Fair Grounds where she tired going a mile at this claiming price March 26. Her early speed combined with the cut-back in distance makes her dangerous.

4th pick: #1 (Gabby's Freedom) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly tired when debuting at Delta Downs Feb. 18, then went evenly despite serious traffic issues March 18 at the Fair Grounds. She has early speed and is racing with lasix administered for the first time.
