Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (INSIDE TRIP) (3-1) - This 3yo rallied to finish 2nd when debuting here at this tag going a mile on the grass Dec. 24. In her follow up Jan. 17, she had a very wide trip while racing evenly for a $50K claiming price. Freshened up since, trainer Saffie Joseph drops her back down while adding blinkers, and she gets a slight edge in this one.
2nd pick: #2 (Kitten of the Nile) (7-2) - On the sidelines since Jan. 24, she had no chance that afternoon when this daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' was bumped heavily at the start. It was her first off a George Navarro claim, she draws a much better post today, and has Javier Castellano aboard for this attempt.
3rd pick: #1 (Nicky's Warrior) (5-2) - The main speed in this small field, and she draws the rail. Competitive in three straight from tougher posts, this 3yo is a serious threat to take this field on the lead from gate-to-wire.
