Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (IMAKITTENSJOY) (3-1) - Bred for the turf by 'Kitten's Joy,' she's been sharp in three straight here on the local grass at this level. 5-year-old has a flexible style and a winning barn (Mike Anderson) is changing riders.
2nd pick: #1 (She Spends My Lute) (9-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, daughter of 'Midnight Lute' is taking on winners for the first time. 3-year-old broke her maiden here going a mile on the local grass Feb 28. A career bets, filly is in the barn of the perennial leading trainer here (Bob Diodoro). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Heaven's Will) (8-1) - Longshot ran a career best when finishing a troubled fourth here Feb 29. She was only a 1/2 length behind 'Imakittensjoy' that day and mare can factor at a big price with a repeat of that effort.
4th pick: #4 (I'z a Sweet Ride) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced, she was a 'neck' in front of 'Imakittensjoy' that day and she's now been sharp in three of her four local turf outings. Must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #8 (Sherry Cagan) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner did so here at this distance March 6. It was her first at Turf Paradise and first anywhere since late August. Daughter of 'Scat Daddy' has positional speed and room for upside.
