Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (HENNESSY STORM) (8-5) - Mare is dropping to a new low and switches from grass to dirt for this attempt. Stretch runner meets a weak field, has Scott Stevens aboard for the first time, and 5-year-old enters off a fine local half-mile work March 18.
2nd pick: #4 (Deann's Mojave) (4-1) - Stalker finished a distant second at this tag and trip March 7. The effort was complimented when the winner score again in her next start. Calif. bred is a serious looking player in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (C J Knows Best) (9-2) - No-speed type enters off a wide and even effort here facing tougher on the grass March 13. Mare had finished 7.5 lengths behind 'Deann's Mojave' in her previous start but her rider 'lost an iron' after this 5-year-old was bumped at the break. She had missed by only a length at this tag and trip Feb. 17 and is a late threat with a repeat of that fine attempt.
4th pick: #7 (Glorious Grey) (7-2) - She's another going turf to dirt that is dropping to a new low. Grey 4-year-old has more speed than most and is dangerous from on or just off the lead.
