Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ASCERTAIN) (7-5) - This mare from the Pletcher barn is clearly the class of the race but has not run since July 7. She's 3-for-6 at this distance. Training fast at the Palm Beach Downs Center, she'll win this if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Trapped At Sea) (7-2) - She was a winner here at this price tag going 5.5 furlongs Jan. 16. The 4yo has been competitive in all but one of her nine starts and is a strong win candidate if 'Ascertain' isn't ready off the long layoff.
3rd pick: #7 (Miz Clipper) (4-1) - Another very consistent runner, she finished third here at this level and distance Feb. 8 in her first start in almost 8 months. She has a stalking style, loves this trip 8-2-3-3 and has a shot in this contest.
4th pick: #2 (Gianna's Gift) (15-1) - Longshot drops in class after tiring while wide in a first-level allowance here Jan. 18. She has early speed, breaks just off the inside, and will take them as far as she can.
