Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SLALOM) (3-1) - $100K purchase showed good early speed when debuting in a grass sprint at Del Mar facing tougher Dec. 4. She lost all chance when she had to steady hard nearing the 1/2-mile pole. Trainer Phil D'Amato drops her in class, switches her to the dirt, and ads blinkers.
2nd pick: #1 (Munny Spunt) (7-2) - Speedy filly set a pressured pace and held well to finish 2nd here at this tag Feb. 4. She has the rail and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Eskenforandreya) (4-1) - Freshened up since Dec. 15, filly chased and held down the place spot at Los Alamitos Race Course that afternoon racing at this level and distance. She draws outside of the other pace types and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Macchiato Mousse) (30-1) - Huge longshot has early speed and is racing with blinkers on for the first time. Working fast since her latest, she may grab a share at a very big price.
