Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (UPFRONT) (5-2) - Well bred and expensive, daughter of 'War Front' cost $800,000 and has been brought along gingerly by trainer Rich Mandella. She enters off a career best here April 6. Racing at this level and distance, she broke on top, set a quick and pressured pace, and weakened slightly to finish second beaten a lengths. She's brought back in 16 days and worked April 18. Three-year-old will win this with any improvement whatsoever.

2nd pick: #3 (Moon Kitty) (4-1) - Speedy filly moves from dirt to turf in her second back following an 11 week break. She tired while very wide in a main track sprint March 11 and she's worked three times since. She should be involved every step and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #10 (Tammy's Window) (6-1) - Longshot is cutting back in distance for this attempt. Even paced in her last pair, she finished second at this level going a mile March 5, then tired late in her follow up March 25. In shape and a late threat at a square price.

4th pick: #12 (Kenda) (5-2) - With the scratch of #8 'Cho Has Zip' this filly gets in from the also eligible list. Beaten a 'neck' here at this level and distance March 24, it was her first ever on the turf. An obvious factor.
