Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DREAM TREE) (3-1) - She won her first five starts but broke poorly and finished last of eight here in the G1 La Brea Stakes Dec. 26. $750K daughter of 'Uncle Mo' had won four straight stakes prior to that, including Saratoga's Prioress (G2) at this distance Sept. 2. Working fast, she's from the Baffert barn and can win this with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #8 (Emboldened) (4-1) - This Godolphin home bred by 'Elusive Quality' has gone 4-2-0-2 so far and stalker finished far in front of 'Dream Tree' last out when that filly broke poorly Dec. 26. She's a stretch threat if able to avoid a wide trip in the early stages.
3rd pick: #3 (Lady Suebee) (6-1) - Speedy filly is about equal in her ability on both turf and dirt. She finished second here in a $75K stakes going 5 furlongs on the grass Feb 16 and also ran second in a $100K dirt stakes in a contest that was taken 'off the turf' Jan. 12. The 4yo is working fast and is in the mix at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Amuse) (5-1) - A lightly raced daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro', she's gone 3-2-1-0 in dirt sprints and is making her stakes debut this afternoon. Stretch runner has a ground-saving post and should receive a solid pace picture to close into.
