Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MOONIE) (7-2) - Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in six of eight attempts on conventional dirt. She's racing third back from almost a two-month break and draws outside of the other pace types. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Ballerina Headline) (3-1) - Golden Gate Fields invader finished a solid 2nd there at this level and distance on the Tapeta surface there. A major factor if she handles the real dirt.
3rd pick: #8 (Major Ranger) (6-1) - Competitive in all three appearances, she finished a troubled 3rd at this level Dec. 13th at Los Alamitos. Mare is making back-to-back starts for the first time, and she must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #10 (Chalk of the Town) (8-1) - Another coming from Golden Gate, she's shortening up in distance for this attempt. Even-paced type is working well and may grab a share if able to avoid a wide trip.
