Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CHEROKEE MAIDEN ) (3-1) - This $410,000 filly by 'Distorted Humor' has finished 2nd in all three starts at this meet. Each have been at this level and distance, and they all were run on wet surfaces. Speed/stalker has a ground-saving post, and I like her chances.
2nd pick: #10 (Shazzy B) (7-2) - This Gulfstream shipper has finished 2nd there in all three starts facing fellow state-breds. The latest came going a one-turn mile March 4, and she runs today off a private training change to Brad Cox (24% with new arrivals in 2019-20). A win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Kizzy B) (9-2) - A $190K daughter of 'Ghostzapper,' she tired after chasing the pace to finish three lengths behind 'Cherokee Maiden' here April 4. 3yo has a stalking style and had checked in 2nd in three straight at the Fair Grounds before shipping here. In the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Malibu Marlee) (6-1) - Filly has finished behind 'Cherokee Maiden' in her last pair, but was only 1.5 lengths behind last out. She's worked fast since and is capable of factoring at a square price.
