Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (NEWCOMB) (7-2) - Glen Hill home bred ships West from Laurel where she missed by a 'head' when debuting there Nov. 22nd in a 5.5-furlong dash on the turf. Bet down to favoritism that afternoon, daughter of 'Giant's Causeway' should appreciate the additional furlong she travels today.
2nd pick: #6 (Audacious Angel) (4-1) - Stalker moves to the grass after a pair of competitive efforts at this level on the local dirt. Bred to handle the turf, she's working nicely, and veteran Gary Stevens stays aboard.
3rd pick: #5 (Proud 'n' Ready) (8-1) - She improved noticeably when moved to the grass in her second start. Daughter of top turf sire 'More Than Ready' chased the pace and held to finish 4th at this level and distance. Can impact with another step forward.
4th pick: #11 (How Unusual) (6-1) - She's back in with maidens after finishing 7th of nine, beaten seven lengths when debuting here in a $79K stakes Feb. 14th. Away poorly that day, the 'figure' earned fits with this group.
5th pick: #10 (Coronado Cool) (12-1) - Speedy filly is racing second back from a three-month layoff. She's lost ground during the stretch run of all four starts, so she needs to do better in today's finale.
