Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CRACKLING BREAD) (5-2) - The speedy filly finished second at this tag going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 2 at Del Mar. Back in shape following a pair of layoffs, she breaks just off the rail while shortening up a 1/16th of a mile.
2nd pick: #3 (Gia Lula) (3-1) - Competitive in three straight since dropping down to this $20K tag, she's another with early speed, is in career best form, and she should be involved every step. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Whata Flirt) (8-1) - Disappointing filly has tired in her last pair after missing by a 'nose' at this $20K tag Oct. 13 at Santa Anita. She retains her early speed and 3yo draws outside of the other pace which is a plus.
4th pick: #6 (Lanacakes) (4-1) - Away since Feb. 8, she finished a pace-prompting third that day when debuting at his $20K tag at Santa Anita. Working steadily for her return, she's a threat, but this contest drew tough for the level.
