Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BALLY SQUALL) (8-5) - Filly raced close up before rallying to miss by a 1/2-length here at this tag and trip March 14. A 3yo daughter of 'Bodemeister,' she had blinkers on that day, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. replaces brother Juan, who was in Dubai over the weekend.
2nd pick: #3 (Boca Royalty) (7-2) - She raced evenly in a grass sprint for a $20,000 claiming price March 13. It was her first race in a year and she no doubt needed the effort. Down in class, she's moving to the dirt for this one while stretching out in distance. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Panda) (8-1) - On the sidelines since Dec. 13, she rallied to finish 2nd here that afternoon at this mile distance and $12,500 price tag. 3yo is a late threat if ready off the 3.5-month layoff.
4th pick: #7 (Chiqui the Gray) (6-1) - Grey filly raced evenly when beaten almost nine lengths when debuting here in a turf sprint for a $50K tag Feb. 22. She moves to the dirt, drops way down, and is stretching out in distance. This longshot enters off a fine half-mile breeze March 23 and may grab a share here at a big price.
