Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LIAM'S LOOKOUT) (9-2) - This filly showed excellent early speed before tiring here when debuting at this level and distance Feb. 23. She had to be sent hard from her rail post and moves to the outside, which should lead to a much better trip. The presence of Joel Rosario is noted.
2nd pick: #1 (Simple Story) (7-2) - Home bred has been idle since rallying to finish 2nd debuting in a $50,000 claimer going six furlongs on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs Nov. 23. Working steadily at the Palm Meadows Center, she's dangerous if ready off the four-month layoff.
3rd pick: #9 (Daily Grace) (3-1) - Florida foal has good early speed and has been competitive in both starts facing state breds at the special weight condition. Trainer Ralph Nicks has her in with $50,000 'open' claimers, and her outside post is a plus. In the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Tara) (8-1) - Another Florida bred, she rallied to finish 2nd here at this tag against 'open' company going six furlongs Feb. 27. It was her second start back following a two-month break, and a fast and/or contested pace would help her style out.
