Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (RED LARK ) (8-1) - This Irish import is one of two entered by Paddy Gallagher and will be the bigger price of the pair. With former champ jockey Johnny Murtaugh in her native country, she rallied to finish a close up 4th when making her No. American debut going a mile on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields Jan. 4. Back on the grass, she should love this nine-furlong trip, and she can take this at a big price.
2nd pick: #7 (Sweet Devil) (7-2) - She's stretching out in distance in her second attempt after making up good ground debuting here at 5.5 furlongs Jan. 11. Trainer Mike McCarthy, 16% 2nd time out, sends her longer (22%), and it's noted that Flavien Prat is taking the mount.
3rd pick: #1 (Noble Hearted) (6-1) - She rallied from close range to finish 3rd of 10, missing by two lengths going a mile Dec. 29. She has a ground saving post, and the additional furlong of this contest is in her favor.
4th pick: #3 (Undisturbed) (5-1) - Well bred filly has a flexible style and enters off of three straight 4th place finishes at this level going a mile. She runs second back off a three-month break and must be left in the mix today.
