Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TENTHOUSANDREASONS) (8-5) - This consistent mare has been idle since Jan. 19 when she ran 3rd going a mile on the Santa Anita dirt for a $20K tag. Claimed that day by the leading trainer at this meet (Bob Diodoro), he wins at a 22% rate of the barn change, and this 5yo Cal bred ran well the last time she was on the grass.
2nd pick: #1 (Luna's Empire) (7-2) - This state bred moves back to the grass after an even 4th place finish here on the dirt at this level and distance Feb. 26. Filly had been competitive in five straight on the local turf course prior to that and should be again today. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Yankee Pride) (4-1) - She tired while wide to finish 3rd here just below this level March 18. She had won two in a row before that, and her early speed should have her involved every step despite moving up in class.
