Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (Majestic Heat) (5-2) - Mare enters off a pair of stakes wins, one going 7 furlongs Nov. 12 at Del Mar and the other going 8.5 furlongs at Los Alamitos. Stretch runner gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Mended) (4-1) - Mare has won 10 races in a row, seven on the Tapeta surface at Golden gate Fields and three on conventional dirt. Very fast from the gate and a serious looking win candidate in a race without much visible pace.

3rd pick: #4 (Mopotism) (7-2) - Another stretch runner, consistent filly has a fine local record 51-2-1 and has kept top company her entire career. Late factor.

4th pick: #5 (Union Strike) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced she was a G1 winner as a 2-year-old in 2016 and is capable of impacting if ready for her first stat in seven months.
