Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AVA'S CHARM) (3-1) - Lightly raced 4yo filly from the Baffert barn broke her maiden here by just over three lengths going six furlongs Dec. 29. It was only her second start and first in 7.5 months. In her follow up at this level and distance Feb. 17, she finished a distant 2nd to 'Ce Ce,' who won a $300K stakes here on yesterday's card. Working fast, I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Mongolian Humor) (2-1) - A four-time winner, she finished a distant 2nd going a mile here at this level Feb. 29. It was her first off a Peter Miller claim, and he brings her back on a quick turnaround while cutting her back in distance.
3rd pick: #5 (Busy Painter) (4-1) - Speedy filly has won two in a row and three of her last four. She defeated 'Mongolian Humor' by a 1/2-length at this distance Jan. 31, and runs today off a Mark Glatt claim, a strong 28% winning angle. In the mix.
