Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (URBAN DIVA) (7-2) - Nicely bred filly finished a pace-setting 2nd here at this distance for an $8,000 tag Dec 12. Sent hard from an inside draw, she moves off the rail and I give her a slim edge in a race where you should make sure you box your wagers.

2nd pick: #1 (I C Fire) (3-1) - Stretch out sprinter has rallied to finish 2nd in both starts facing weaker. Filly is from a very good barn (Tim McCanna), she has a ground-saving post, and the barn has won with 6 of 29 (24%) on the distance increase since Jan 1 of 2019.

3rd pick: #5 (Fantasy Golf Gal) (15-1) - Longshot has raced evenly in all four sprints and is stretching out beyond 5 furlongs for the first time. From the capable barn of Bill McLean, this filly may impact today at a very big price.

4th pick: #4 (Mellow Out) (20-1) - Another longshot, she's one of two entered by trainer Steve Sherman. Very wide sprinting last out, daughter of 'Flat Out' is racing without blinkers for the first time and I think she can factor at long odds.
