Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AVERYS MISS) (5-2) - On the sidelines since Oct. 22, she finished second that afternoon going 5.5 furlongs at Zia Park in New Mexico. A 4yo Texas-bred, filly runs odd a private trainer change to Bev Burris (21% with new arrivals) and she had this homebred breeze a bullet 3 furlongs from the gate in a swift :34.40 Jan 26.
2nd pick: #7 (Zipitupmysister) (3-1) - Another that's coming here from Zia Park, this daughter of 'City Zip' has finished second in three straight at three different tracks. Her stalking style fits the race and she's a serious looking win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Byars Melodie) (7-2) - She rallied from far back to finish second when debuting here at this level and distance on a very muddy surface Dec. 27. Texas-bred worked fast Feb. 1 and is a late threat.
4th pick: #4 (Wewoka) (12-1) - Mare has been away a long time (Dec. of 2017) and this 6yo gives away a big recency advantage to the top three selections. She has some ability, but believe a minor award is her ceiling if ready off the 13.5-month layoff.
