DIOSA
Trainer: Mike Pender
Last race: April 19, 4th
Finish: 6th by 12
Beyer: 37
Favored in claiming sprint for 3-year-old fillies, this front-runner broke last, rushed inside to duel, and faded. She has modest ability, but her excuse was valid. Follow on class drop.

ARTIE B GOOD
Trainer: Steve Knapp
Last race: April 19, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 86
Late-runner was compromised by pace. Rallied from last in race won by the pacesetter. Claimed by high-percent first-off-claim trainer Knapp. Fits similar $35k claiming N3L, short or long.
FLOWER POINT
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: April 20, 4th
Finish: 1st by 1/2
No Beyer
Huge debut by 3-year-old filly. Broke slowly in maiden turf sprint, lost ground through turn, came five wide into the lane, and stormed home to win going away. The race was better than it looked.
QUERELLE
Trainer: Jim Cassidy
Last race: April 20, 6th
Finish: 8th by 12 1/4
Beyer: 59
A 3-year-old facing older in N1X turf route, he was blocked behind runners into the lane and had nowhere to go. The rider wrapped up, and they coasted home. Toss the race. Price play next time in similar N1X.
