Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (OX EYED DAISY) (7-5) - She stretches out a furlong following a second place finish when debuting here at this level going 7 furlongs Feb. 25. In the Pletcher barn (33% second time out), he wins at a 27% clip on the distance increase and this Calumet home bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (First Mistress) (2-1) - Away poorly in both starts, filly has rallied to finish second and third in that pair. Freshened up since Jan. 14, she's working steadily and has blinkers on. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Consider This) (5-1) - First timer by 'Union Rags' cost $300,000 and has been working steadily at Palm Meadows for her debut. Four-year-old has John Velazquez aboard and need not be anything special to factor against this group.
