Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SASSY ROSE) (5-2) - Lightly-raced filly is one of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill. This home bred enters off a pair of back-to-back second place finishes at this tag. Beaten a 1/2 length here Nov 3 she missed by a 'neck' Dec 11 at Los Alamitos. She gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Sly Humor) (3-1) - Speedy filly is dropping way down in class and races with blinkers on for trainer Simon Callaghan. Working above average, she's shown good early speed in both starts facing tougher and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Pistol Packin Rose) (8-1) - The second of the O'Neill pair, she's lightly raced and has been freshened up since Nov 3. Filly showed good early sped while wide before tiring late here at this tag last out and is a threat at a square price.

4th pick: #7 (American Rhiannon) (8-1) - Unraced since Sep 23, she rallied to finish a distant second at this tag at Los Alamitos. Working steadily, home should get a favorable pace set up to close into.
