Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (PRAIRIE CITIZEN) (3-1) - Home bred has been on the sidelines since Nov. 25 when she raced both wide and evenly at Del Mar facing tougher. Working steadily, trainer George Waver drops her into a claimer for the first time and filly gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Super Patriot) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she pressed the pace and stayed on gamely to finish second here at this level distance facing a bit tougher Jan. 20. By far a career best, she's in the Baffert barn and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Seattle Drop) (4-1) - Lightly-raced home bred by 'Lemon Drop Kid' improved in her second start and is dropping in class while stretching out in distance. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Mongolian Window) (7-2) - She raced evenly here when debuting in a dirt sprint Jan. 26. Barn moves her to the grass, stretches her out in distance, and Bejarano stays aboard.
