Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (RATTLE) (3-1) - Lightly raced and quick from the gate, mare by 'City Zip' was a winner here going 6.5 furlongs for a $16K tag Oct. 3. Claimed that day by Reed Saldana, she tired to finish 3rd after rushing up after a poor start at Los Al Dec. 12 in her first for the new barn. Nicely spotted and well-drawn in the gate, I like her chances.

2nd pick: #2 (Desert Smoke) (2-1) - Veteran mare ships from Golden Gate Fields where she finished 3rd going a mile on the all-weather surface for a $20K tag Dec. 5. 7yo has gone 6-1-1-0 on conventional dirt in the past and is dropping down for this attempt.

3rd pick: #4 (Conformation) (5-2) - This mare has been freshened up since a pair of back-to-back wins going a mile during the Fall. One of those came here at this tag Oct. 19 and she should factor if ready off a two-month break.
