Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (THANKS) (7-2) - Speedy filly has been freshened up since finishing a pace-setting 3rd here at this distance for a $30,000 claiming price Feb 22. She's worked a half-dozen times since March 5 and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Zillinda) (3-1) - Mare is dropping to a new low while switching from grass to dirt. Home bred 5yo raced evenly here facing tougher at a mile on the turf Feb 28 and is a threat at this reduced level.
3rd pick: #2 (Shanghai Barbie) (5-2) - Blinkers go on lightly raced 3yo who is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She's tired in her first pair this year facing tougher here going 6.5 furlongs on the grass and she showed some ability on the dirt at Los Alamitos Sep 15.
4th pick: #3 (Brite Rivers) (4-1) - A 4yo home bred, she ships back from Golden Gate Fields where she missed by a 'neck' at this level and distance on the Tapeta surface there March 24. Filly is dangerous if she can repeat that effort on the dirt.
