Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AMADA RAFAELA) (8-5) - One of three making their debuts, she's a home bred by 'Distorted Humor'. In the barn of Bob Baffert (22% first out), she's been working fast here since early February and drilled this distance from the gate in a swift 1:11.60 April 23. The likely winner.

2nd pick: #4 (Storming Lady) (9-2) - Another making her first start, daughter of 'Flat Out' sold for $265,000 as a 2-year-old in training one year ago. Filly enters off a sharp half-mile gate breeze April 29 and should factor if that time is repeatable under 'live' action.

3rd pick: #3 (Patricia's Ring) (7-2) - Well backed when debuting here Oct. 1, she chased while wide before tiring to finish third. Working fast for this attempt, $370,000 daughter of 'Malibu Moon' must be left in the mix.
