Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MISS RYLEIGH) (7-2) - She rallied to finish 2nd when debuting in a sprint on the all-weather surface at Golden Gate Fields Nov. 22. Stretched out to a mile and on the grass here Jan. 11, she was pulled up right after the start and walked off. On the sidelines since, trainer Peter Miller drops her into a claimer (33%), adds blinkers (26%), and cuts her back in distance (20%). I like her chances in this weak field.
2nd pick: #6 (Sweet Honor) (4-1) - This filly showed good early speed before tiring when debuting Aug. 15 at Del Mar facing tougher. Training steadily for her return, she's dropping into a claimer, and has blinkers on. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #8 (Queensbeccaandjane) (6-1) - One of seven making their debuts, this home-bred worked a bullet half-mile from the gate here in 00:46.80 April 29, the best of 52 at that distance.
4th pick: #13 (Awesome Alessandra) (8-1) - 3yo has been competitive in four of five when racing at today's $50K claiming price. Stalker has an experience edge on all and has stayed busy with a pair of short sprints at Los Alamitos during the local cessation of action. In the mix.
