Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TAKE TEN) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' rallied while wide to finish second of 10, missing by just under a length here at this distance Jan. 19. The effort was complimented when the winner scored again next out and this $350,000 purchase moves from the 10 post to the rail.
2nd pick: #2 (Tapit to Ride) (4-1) - Lightly raced filly by 'Tapit' has been competitive in all three starts and had some traffic issues last out when she checked in 3 lengths behind 'Take Ten'. $250K purchase has a good post, a flexible style, and is a contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Pardon My Heart) (5-2) - Homebred has been sharp in both starts at the meet after coming off a 10-month layoff Dec. 6. She split 'Take Ten' and 'Tapit to Ride' last out, has Irad Ortiz Jr staying aboard, and she worked a quick half-mile at the Palm Meadows Center Feb. 26.
4th pick: #8 (Elle M'a Souri) (9-2) - Strong finisher lost her rider on the far turn last after being in a tight spot. She had missed by a 'nose' and 'neck' in her previous pair and a fast and/or contested pace would make this French import a serious threat.
