Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SONOMA STORM) (4-1) - A lightly raced filly, she's dropping into a claimer, has blinkers on, and is stretching out in distance in her second back from just under an 11-week break. She tired badly last out after being quite nervous in the post parade and trainer Norm Casse has Jose Ortiz aboard for this attempt.
2nd pick: #2 (Noble Maria) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she rallied to finish 5th of 12, beaten 4.5 lengths here going 8.5 furlongs for a $50K price tag Jan. 16. Down in price and shortening up a furlong, she's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Maybelle) (12-1) - Longshot continues to race evenly but it would only take a slight improvement for this filly to factor today at a very big price.
4th pick: #7 (Rags Pauline) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Union Rags' drops after rallying to finish a non-threatening third here for a $50K tag Feb. 7. It was her first on the grass, a career best, and Irad Ortiz stays with her.
