Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (I B SEXIE SADIE) (3-1) - Grey mare has been sharp (4-1-2-1) in all her starts since switching to the grass. She's dropping down after checking in 2nd facing tougher Jan. 23rd, and her speed/stalking style fits the group.
2nd pick: #2 (Showcase Winner) (4-1) - She's dropping in class, stretching back out in distance, and moving back to the turf after a wide trip here in a dirt sprint Jan. 31st. Grey filly was only two lengths behind 'I B Sexie Sadie' Jan. 23rd and is racing third back off a 2.5-month layoff. Win threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Dance Affair) (7-2) - Speed/stalker is stretching out in distance and racing on the grass for the first time. In good form, Arizona bred is from a winning barn (Don Schnell) and has leading rider Scott Stevens aboard. The trainer/jockey team wins at a 25% clip when paired together.
4th pick: #9 (Impeccably) (8-1) - Longshot is moving back to the turf for the first time since April. Mare has raced three times in dirt sprints since coming off an eight-month layoff Dec. 15th. 5yo has run well on the local turf in the past (6-0-2-2).
5th pick: #10 (My Cinderella) (9-2) - Stalker draws a tough outside post, but has enough positional speed to not let it hurt her chances. Competitive facing weaker the last time she raced on the turf, she must be left in the same race exotic bet mix.
