No. 3 Ragan’s Jet (5-2) is on a roll. She captured her last four starts in the Oklahoma-bred ranks, and three of those were stakes races. The early-pressing mare should attend the pace.
No. 5 Distorted Flash (3-1) has never lost at Will Rogers. She won this event last year and exits a local score in her prep for this. Her regular pilot Gerald Mora chose Ragan’s Jet.
No. 7 Dicey (7-2) finished in a dead heat with Distorted Flash on March 6, and was a clear third in a local state-bred stakes race won by Ragan’s Jet on March 27. She frequently fires trifecta shots.
No. 6 Aquila Moon (6-1) captured two races at Remington Park last year, and beat a next-out winner in her lone 2023 outing in Texas on Jan. 16. She should stalk the pace while out in the clear.
