Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (IMMINENT) (5-2) - A very lightly raced filly, she's been very sharp in all three starts since dropping into claimers. Bred/owned/and trained by Kristin Mulhall, she drops this speedy 3yo daughter of 'Heat Shield' to a new low and she breaks from the rail.

2nd pick: #2 (Atleisure) (15-1) - Longshot takes the same drop as 'Imminent' and this even paced filly was only 2.5 lengths in back of that rival here Nov. 2. She has a ground-saving post and is the only one entered with wet track experience.

3rd pick: #7 (Meritocracy) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished second here Dec. 29 and in her previous start she was only a length behind 'Imminent'. A home bred filly, she's an obvious contender at a short price.

4th pick: #4 (Reachreachreach) (7-2) - This filly was pulled up last out after bobbling badly at the break. Heavily backed that day in her first facing claimers, she worked fast Jan. 2 and must be left in the mix.
