Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (RED LODGE) (8-5) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Wesley in this abbreviated sprint (4.5-furlongs) for 2-year-olds. Heavily bet when debuting here April 20, she held a big lead turning for home and would have won if not for an over-confident ride by her jockey. Ward brings her back quickly and has a new rider aboard.

2nd pick: #7 (Taglia) (9-5) - The second of the Ward fillies, daughter of Belmont Stakes winner 'Union Rags' has a pair of sharp local three-furlong drills showing for her debut. Ward wins at a 24% rate first out and veteran Joel Rosario aboard. The trainer/jockey combo has won with 10 of 44 (24%) when teamed up over the past 16.5 months.

3rd pick: #3 (China Grove) (5-1) - Debuting daughter is by 'City Zip', one of the best sires of 2-year-olds for over 15 years. This filly had a bullet half-mile breeze from the gate here April 16. It was the best of 68 horses that worked at the distance that morning.

4th pick: #1 (Already Feisty) (6-1) - First-time starter has been prepared off site for her initial attempt. She drilled a quick three furlongs from the gate April 16 and she's breaking from the rail.
