Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SETTLE DOWN EILEEN ) (9-5) - Filly stalked the pace before settling for the second spot going six furlongs here for a $100,000 price tag March 31. It was her first start since early October, her first for trainer Bill Spawr, and first in a claimer. Barn drops her down 25% and 3-year-old will be a handful with a repeat of her latest overall effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Lady Preacher) (5-1) - Daughter of 'Mineshaft' is dropping into a claimer for the first time while switching from grass to dirt and shortening up in distance. She has the rail, is working fast on the main track, and looks set for a competitive effort.
3rd pick: #5 (Brandy) (3-1) - One of two making their debuts, two of her last three works were well above average. In the barn of 'Hall of Fame' member Jerry Hollendorfer and this $175K purchase should factor if she runs to her a.m. drills.
