Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (LA CHAUFFEUR) (9-2) - Expensive ($170,000) filly has been idle since tiring at Churchill Downs Sept. 16. Heavily bet in both starts, she's working steadily, is in with fellow Fla. breds for the first time, and trainer Norm Casse has Jose Ortiz aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Moon Eyes) (4-1) - She raced evenly to finish 3rd here when debuting for a $50K tag Dec. 9. Home bred has the rail, and John Velazquez takes over the riding chores.
3rd pick: #9 (Gray Owl) (6-1) - Daughter of 'City Zip' has good early speed and enters off a solid 2nd place finish Dec. 8 at Hawthorne. In a very sharp barn (Larry Rivelli), this home bred is in the win mix.
4th pick: #8 (Miami Rose) (6-1) - She set a pressured pace and held gamely to miss by just under a length here Dec. 30. Competitive in both starts, her connections give her a major upgrade to Irad Ortiz, Jr.
