Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (QUANT) (3-1) - Daughter of 'War Front' has been on the sidelines since Dec 16. Lightly-raced 4-year-old missed by a 1/2 length here that afternoon and has a half-dozen published works at Payson Park for her return. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Trickita) (5-2) - The main speed she's looking for her third win in a row. Nicely bred filly has gone gate-to-wire in both and earned a career best figure last out (Jan. 13). In the Pletcher ban and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Lead Along) (4-1) - Lightly-raced mare was only a 'neck' behind 'Quant' Dec. 16 in her first when facing winners. However, in her follow up start Jan 11 she raced evenly as the favorite without really threatening. She's breezed three times since and all have been above average.
4th pick: #4 (Arthemisa) (8-1) - Filly has been competitive in four straight at this meet when facing weaker. Stretch runner moves up in class and she should like this nine furlong distance.
