Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BIZWHACKS) (4-1) - One of two fillies entered by Doug O'Neill, speed/stalker moves back to the grass after tiring to finish third in a Del Mar dirt sprint Nov. 25. She's been sharp in both previous attempts on the turf and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Objective) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, she was away slowly but rallied strongly to finish third of eight, beaten just over a length when debuting in a 5-furlong grass sprint Nov. 15 at Del Mar. She's been working fast since and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Rather Nosy) (6-1) - Well backed in both starts, she's rallied to finish 3rd in both. The latest came going 5 furlongs Nov. 15 at Del Mar and in her previous start, it was here at this distance Oct. 19. She's dangerous today but I know little about rider Atzeni who is new on the scene.

4th pick: #3 (Shut It Up) (7-2) - The second of the O'Neill trained fillies, she made up ground to finish only a 'head' behind 'Objective' when debuting Nov. 15 at Del Mar. She's worked three times here this month, all have been well above average, and must be left in the mix.
