Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS) (8-5) - Heavily backed when debuting Dec. 26, she was away slowly, and raced evenly once in stride. $575K purchase is working fast while moving from the Baffert barn to that of Doug O'Neill.
2nd pick: #2 (Meanie Irenie) (3-1) - Daughter of the fleet 'Henny Hughes' raced evenly while between horses when debuting in the same last race as 'Beautiful Princess.' Another who is working fast, and it's a big plus to see Bejarano back on the re-ride. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Outa Here) (4-1) - Wide in her debut Dec. 26, she actually finished ahead of both 'Beautiful Princess' and 'Meanis Irene.' Unlike that pair, she had no visible excuse and was 'cold' on the board (42-1). Trainer Pete Eurton gives her a big rider upgrade to Tyler Baze.
