Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ROAD TEST) (5-1) - Grey filly is one of two maidens entered and both are trained by Doug O' Neill. Lightly-raced, she missed by a 'head' here at this distance Jan. 2 in what was only her second lifetime start. She's worked four times since and I like her chances.

2nd pick: #3 (Starr of Quality) (7-2) - Strong finisher has been competitive in her last four starts on the dirt. She rallied to get her maiden win here at this trip for a $30K tag Jan. 2. Claimed that afternoon by Pete Miller (33% off the claim), he's worked her four times since and filly is nicely spotted.

3rd pick: #4 (Honor Maker) (2-1) - Speedy filly went gate-to-wire here at this distance Dec. 15 for her maiden score. In her first facing winners, she finished a distant second at this level Jan. 15. An obvious threat at a very short price.

4th pick: #1 (Pistol Packin Rose) (6-1) - The second of the O'Neill maidens entered, she missed by a 1/2 length here for a $30K tag Jan. 27. A carer best, it was her first ever going around two turns. Must be left in the mix.
