Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MS LOUISA) (8-1) - Filly ships in from the Fair Grounds where she tired late at this level going 5.5 furlongs Jan. 25. She finished second here twice during the Fall and I give her a slight edge and at a big price.
2nd pick: #1 (Dancepark) (7-2) - 4yo is stretching out in distance and is racing beyond 5 furlongs for the first time. Stalker has finished third in all three attempts facing fellow state breds and is a threat from her ground-saving post.
3rd pick: #2 (American Mom) (4-1) - Mare has no early speed but did rally to finish third here facing 'open' special weights at this distance Jan. 18. It was her second start back following a 7 month layoff and she must be left in the mix.
