Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FLAMETTA) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Rich Baltas, she raced both wide and evenly when debuting here Jan. 11 facing tougher. Barn wins at a 20% rate second time out and drops this home bred into a claimer. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Tacy) (5-1) - The field's only first-time starter, she's working steadily and has been training here since mid-November. She draws a nice outside post at this distance and need not be anything special to factor against this group.
3rd pick: #1 (Whatyouciswhatuget) (4-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, she's switching from grass to dirt, shortens up in distance, and is back in with fellow Calif. breds. Home bred should be involved every step.
