Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LIFE'S BLESSINGS) (8-5) - This race has been taken 'off the turf' and switched to the dirt. Daughter of top sire 'Tapit' has been competitive in all three starts despite breaking slowly in two of those. On April 9 she finished an even 4th in a small stakes here at this distance on the main track. Working fast since, she can win his with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #3 (Chalon) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, filly is racing second back from a 9.5-month layoff. She tired in her return after being involved in a pace duel through fast fractions and is dangerous today on an off track that may favor front runners.
3rd pick: #9 (Sheza Chattykat) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Rich Baltas, she's facing winners for the first time. Filly was a sharp maiden winner March 31, and the figure earned was impressive. Working fast since, she must be left in the mix.
