Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DANCING BELLE) (5-2) - Stretch runner is stakes placed and has experience on several at this longer distance. $200K purchase is working steadily for her first since Dec. 7 and can win this with a late charge.
2nd pick: #1 (Tea for Tam) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Malibu Moon' tired while wide when sprinting here in her debut Oct. 27. The field that day was a strong one and this $360,000 purchase is bred to like this longer trip. She has the rail and Victor Espinoza is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #2 (Mapit) (10-1) - She raced evenly when beaten just over 4 lengths going 6.5 furlongs here on the grass Dec. 26. It was her first back from a 2.5 month break and she moves back to the dirt while stretching out in distance. Think she can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Tequila Sunrise) (2-1) - Filly has finished second in both starts, one sprinting on the dirt and the other going a mile on the grass.Improving and a threat, but is no 'lock' at a short price.
