Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (AWESOME ALESSANDRA) (5-1) - Price play has finished 3rd in two straight, the latest coming here at this level going six furlongs Jan. 20. Speed/stalker is brought back quickly, stretches out a furlong, and her outside post will give jockey Evin Roman some early options.

2nd pick: #4 (Rstars and Stripes) (3-1) - Debuting filly has some good works, and trainer Kristin Mulhall has leading rider Joel Rosario aboard. This home bred should factor first out in this weak group.

3rd pick: #2 (La Croix) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 1/2 length at this level going 5.5 furlongs Nov. 29 at Del Mar, then tired at Golden Gate Field after setting a quick and pressured pace against tougher. Back on the dirt and down in class, she's an obvious contender here.

4th pick: #6 (Smart Girl) (6-1) - She tired debuting here at this level Jan. 10. Home bred may hold down a minor share with normal second out improvement.
