Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FAYPIEN) (5-1) - Away slowly when debuting here at this level going five furlongs March 11, she rallied while widest to finish 3rd. Trainer Bob Baffert (23% second time out) worked her fast April 16, and he stretches this $720,000 daughter of 'Ghostzapper' out in distance while having Bejarano getting aboard.

2nd pick: #9 (Danuska's My Girl) (7-2) - Filly rallied to miss by just under a length when debuting here going 6.5 furlongs March 24. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer (22% second time out) has worked her three times since, and 3yo draws a nice outside post at this seven-furlong trip.

3rd pick: #5 (Miss Remembering) (6-1) - Debuting filly is an uncoupled barn-mate of 'Faypien' as both are trained by Bob Baffert. Working fast, Baffert wins at a very solid 26% clip first out.

4th pick: #1 (Utana) (5-2) - 4yo was a half-length better than 'Danuska' when debuting March 24. $120K daughter of 'Curlin' draws a tough inside post at this trip and will need some careful handling by Victor Espinoza in the early stages.
