Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (POLISHED COPPER) (4-1) - She raced evenly here facing tougher in her first since Sept. 30 and first-ever on the grass. Homebred may have needed the effort off the four-month layoff and she's back in 22 days, drops in half, and is set on well for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Gea) (4-1) - Improving filly by 'Animal Kingdom' has been competitive in her last pair and she draws a ground-saving post. Leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr is getting aboard for the first time and this Canadian bred is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Kayseri) (7-2) - She finished a very good third here at this tag Feb. 2 in her first since Nov. 27. Back on a quick turnaround, she has early speed, blinkers on, and is part of the win mix.
