Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LADY SEQUOIA) (5-2) - Lightly-raced mare has been freshened up since Jan 4. When last in action she rallied to finish second going 8.5-furlongs at Laurel for an $8000 claiming tag. 5-year-old has taken money in all three starts and raced evenly here in her first pair locally.
2nd pick: #1 (Maximus Marcus) (8-5) - The probable favorite, she's broken slowly in three straight starts, but has still been competitive in two of those. Un-raced since Nov 9, she's from a crafty barn (Juan Vazquez). With an alert break, she would beat these.
3rd pick: #3 (Careful Choice) (4-1) - She has a recency edge on both 'Lady Sequoia' and 'Maximus Marcus.' She chased and held down the place spot racing here Feb 28. It was her best overall since June of 2014 and her early speed must be respected.
