Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (GRAND FOLLY) (2-1) - Grey filly has been competitive in all five of her grass starts. One-run type just missed here at this level and distance Nov. 30 before a pair of good efforts at Gulfstream Park. In shape, working well, and she gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Creative Director) (4-1) - Well bred 4-year-old has good early speed and finished a close up third here at this level and distance Jan. 11. Daughter of 'War Front' has worked four times since and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Above the Mark) (5-2) - Godolphin bred and owned she ships up from Gulfstream where she's raced evenly while checking in fourth in a pair of efforts at this level going a bit longer. A stretch threat in her local debut.

4th pick: #6 (La Soul) (8-1) - Very lightly-raced 4-year-old finished a distant third here in an 'off the turf' contest at this level Feb. 8. However, it was her first since Nov. 6 of 2015 and she no doubt needed the race. Home bred is potentially dangerous at a big price.
