Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MO SEE CAL) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill and both have good chances of winning this. Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' has fine early speed and is going grass to dirt and stretching back out in distance. Heavily backed in her first pair, she gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (An Eddie Surprise) (3-1) - The second of the O'Neill trained pair, she finished 2nd here when debuting at this level going 6.5 furlongs on the local turf Oct. 29. In her follow up in a dirt sprint here just 10 days ago she tired badly while never really involved. Back quickly and on the grass, Reddam home bred is dangerous.

3rd pick: #7 (Super Patriot) (5-1) - From the Baffert barn, $195K purchase has been racing evenly in most of his starts. She's moving back up in class, switching back to the grass, and is stretching back out. Filly finished third at this level and distance Nov. 19 at Del Mar and has sprinted on the dirt in her last pair.
