Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SECRET O'LIFE) (2-1) - She had a rather uncomfortable trip here at this tag and trip Feb. 7. The 3yo had traffic issues early om then raced between horses before eventually checking in 4th of 12, beaten almost 5 lengths. Florida bred has the rail, leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. back on the re-ride, and she can break her maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Go to Ward) (7-2) - This $110,000 filly ships in from the Fair Grounds where she raced both wide and evenly Jan 18 for a $30,000 claiming price. From a capable barn (Rodolphe Brisset) he drops her to a new low, is adding blinkers, and she should factor in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Tapizar Girl) (6-1) - A lightly raced daughter of 'Tapizar', she tired late after setting a pressured pace in the same last race as 'Secret O Life'. Only two lengths in back of that rival, she's a threat today at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Lillie's Heat) (5-2) - She's lightly raced, has early speed, and enters off a near miss (a 1/2 length) here at this tag Feb. 2. Claimed that day by Bob Dibona, he's given her a month of rest and daughter of 'Twirling Candy' can impact if she holds her form.
