Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (JOLIE OLIMPICA) (7-5) - Undefeated Brazilian import won the local 5.5 furlong Las Ciengas Stakes (G3) Jan. 11 in her first in No. America. That ran her record to 4-for-4 and she's stretching back out in distance for this attempt. Stalker has the rail and gets top billing.

2nd pick: #8 (Lady Prancealot) (5-2) - Multiple stakes winner has a fine local record 7-3-2-1 and enters seeking her third straight 'Graded' stakes score. Strong finisher will need some pace help to try and beat 'Jolie Olimpia' as she lacks any early speed. A late threat if hat's the case.

3rd pick: #4 (Mucho Unusual) (4-1) - Cal-bred missed by a 1/2 length to 'Lady Prancealot' here in a G1 going 10 furlongs Dec. 28. She's gone 4-2-1-1 locally, has more speed than that rival, and must be left in the mix.
