Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RANCOR) (3-1) - The main speed, Calumet home bred finished a pace-setting second at this level and distance March 10 in a contest that was taken 'off the turf'. Sharp in one of two on the grass prior to that and she enters off a quick 5 furlong work March 31. Fiily gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Pacific Strike) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, $360,000 daughter of 'Flatter' has finished third in two straight here at this level. Filly has had tough outside posts in both and is moving to a ground saving slot on the rail. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Fluffhead) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Animal Kingdom' raced evenly when debuting here going a mile Feb. 3. $125K purchase was 6 lengths behind 'Pacific Strike' that day but should move forward with normal second out improvement.
4th pick: #3 (Party Dancer) (5-1) - Freshened up since Feb. 3, she was only 1 1/2 lengths in back of 'Pacific Strike' while in front of 'Fluffhead' that afternoon. May grab a minor award in this spot.
