Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (PAPER CLIP) (2-1) - Filly is one of two entered by Wesley Ward and they race uncoupled. Away from action since Oct. 12, she finished third here that afternoon at this distance facing special weight foes. She's fast from the gate, is working sharply, and is training fast. Ward wins at a solid 28% off of long layoffs and this 3yo can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Brittas Bay) (3-1) - The second of the Ward trained fillies, she's been on the sidelines since tiring in a pair of starts in the late summer facing males. Ward also bred and owns this 3yo and she's training fast and has John Velazquez aboard. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Urban Insight) (5-1) - She's one of three older runners entered and hasn't raced since tiring to finish fourth going 6.5 furlongs at Churchill Downs Nov. 10. Working steadily, a home bred by 'Street Sense' enters off a near bullet half-mile breeze here April 11.
4th pick: #1 (Holdonaminit) (12-1) - Price play ships from the Fair Grounds where she raced evenly following a poor starts when debuting against fellow Louisiana breds March 3. Heavily bet that day, she's worked four times since, and trainer Dallas Stewart is adding blinkers. A 'live' longshot.
