Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (WHISKEY GIRL) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly chased while wide before weakening to finish third here at this level and distance Jan 15. It was her first race in almost two months and the high-percentage barn of Karl Broberg brings her back in 12 days. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Lazer Blaze) (3-1) - Mare is dropping in class for her first race since Oct 11 facing tougher at Remington Park. She has some of the best past figures showing and 6-year-old worked a bullet half-mile here Jan 18. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Saucy Shadow) (6-1) - Speedy sort runs off a 3 1/2 month layoff. She tired that day at Retama Park going a mile and is shortening up for this attempt. She was competitive in three straight sprints there prior to that and her front running style must be respected.
