Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SUNDAR CREEK) (5-2) - Filly drops a bit and is stretching back out in distance. She's finished second in her last pair sprinting here and looks all set for this longer trip.
2nd pick: #1 (C J Knows Best) (3-1) - Well bred 4-year-old drops back down and moves from turf to the Tapeta surface. She broke her maiden on it at this distance Dec. 3, then finished a solid third on the local grass Jan. 1 when facing tougher. Stalker has the rail and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (La Rondine) (8-1) - Longshot has raced evenly in all three local starts since getting her maiden win at this distance Oct. 27. Daughter of 'Giacomo' is from a good small barn (Wayne Baker) and may grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #6 (Pray Anyway) (6-1) - Speedy grey mare is racing for the first time since Oct. 29. She's taking a big drop in class and hails from one of the top barns in No. California (Bill Delia). Can factor if ready.
