Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MINI MEGAN) (7-2) - Bred/owned/trained by Rudy Rodriguez, he's dropping her in class and adds blinkers for her first since Dec 7. Daughter of 'Frost Giant' has taken money in all four starts and it's a plus to see Irad Ortiz Jr. back aboard her.
2nd pick: #13 (Air Force Nurse) (5-2) - Speedy filly scratches in from the also-eligible list. She set a pressured pace and held to finish second here at this level and distance on a muddy track Dec 29. The morning line favorite and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Wish Upon) (5-1) - Filly drops down after showing early speed in both starts facing tougher. Bred/owned/trained by J. P. Terranova III, she should be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Lynnie B) (4-1) - Nice debut here Dec 29 saw her chase while wide and stay on to check in third. Only a length behind 'Air Force Nurse', normal second out improvement makes her a threat.
5th pick: #9 (Feather in My Cap) - Blinkers go on fill who has raced evenly in both starts at this level. She caught wet tracks in each and may do much better on today's Fast surface.
