Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (REALLY) (9-2) - Well bred filly races of a private trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez and a three-month freshening. Well backed in her first pair, she showed sharp early before tiring late in both. Working fast for her return, Rodriguez wins at a 31% rate with new stock, and I like this filly's chances.
2nd pick: #3 (Full House) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, lasix is added to $125K purchase who finished 3rd when debuting here in the mud at this level and distance Dec. 18. From a good barn (Jimmy Jerkens) and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Heavenly Score) (7-2) - She has the rail and showed good early sped when finishing 2nd in her debut Dec. 18. Grey filly was in front of 'Full House' that afternoon and has worked fast twice since. Must be left in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #6 (China Rider) (4-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, she's cutting back in distance for this attempt. Stretch runner may grab a share with a late rally, but needs to do much better for anything more than a minor award.
