Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (KHUN DOTS VARON) (3-1) - Once much classier mare has been very lightly-raced her entire career. Seven-year-old went 4-1-2-0 last year and all came facing tougher. Speed/stalker is working fast for her first since Sept. 3 and she draws a good outside post for her style.
2nd pick: #2 (Time and Tides) (4-1) - Another who was much classier at one time, she raced both wide and evenly here while checking in fourth facing a bit tougher Jan. 6. Six-year-old drops to a new low and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since last winter.
3rd pick: #4 (Marynetta) (9-5) - The main speed, she set a quick pace here Jan. 6 and held gamely to finish a close-up third. Old timer has won 12 times on the local Tapeta surface while the other five have amassed 11 total. Food for thought.
