Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PRETTY AND FAST) (7-2) - Lightly raced homebred has been competitive in both starts with the latest a pace-pressing third-place finish here going a mile in an 'off the turf' contest Jan. 24. Bumped at the break in each attempt, daughter of 'Tiznow' has received good betting support and I give her a slight edge in what will be her first on the grass.
2nd pick: #2 (Lady Panda) (5-1) - She moves back in with state breds after checking in second of nine, missing by a length here facing $50K 'open' company Jan. 31. One-run type worked fast March 1, has a ground-saving post, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Sister O'Doole) (6-1) - Filly rallied to finish a distant third debuting in a Tampa dirt sprint Jan. 19. She runs off a trainer change to Graham Motion, an 18% winning angle and he switches her to the grass (26%). The presence of Javier Castellano suggests that the barn likes her chances.
4th pick: #7 (Couple of Nikkis) (8-1) - Generazio home bred has been competitive in her last three on the grass and this stalker is capable of factoring at a big price.
