Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (PAPRIKA) (5-2) - The probable favorite, filly has finished 2nd in both starts. The latest came at this level and distance April 13, and she gets a slim edge today.
2nd pick: #9 (Operandi) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, she tired while very wide after chasing the pace going nine furlongs at this level April 8. Working well since, barn adds blinkers, and cuts her back in distance. A win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Helen's Tiger) (12-1) - Longshot is the second from the O'Neill barn. On the sidelines since Nov. 18, speed/stalker is working above average and will be making her grass debut. 3yo may land a share at a big price if ready.
4th pick: #7 (Whata Flirt) (15-1) - Longshot is from the same barn (Len Powell) as 'Paprika.' Lightly raced, she has early speed, is stringing starts together, and is making her turf debut. She must be left in the mix at a very big price.
