Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AN EDDIE SURPRISE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, 'Eddie' has been competitive in both grass starts at this level and has positive experience at this often tricky 6.5 furlong trip on the 'down the hill' turf course. He'll be tough to beat on facing a sub par field for the level.

2nd pick: #9 (Nothing But Heat) (5-2) - Filly raced both wide and evenly when finishing fourth when debuting at this level going a mile here Jan. 20. Trainer Pete Eurton brings her back quickly while cutting her back in distance. Only 2 lengths back of 'Eddie' that afternoon and a major player in this spot.

3rd pick: #6 (Wishful) (8-1) - Lasix is added to lightly-raced filly who finished far back of both 'Eddie' and 'Nothing But Heat' after setting a pressured pace Jan. 18. She's worked since and may have bled in that contest necessitating the addition of lasix.
