Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ROCKANDTHAROS) (3-1) - Filly has been on the sidelines since tiring while racing wide facing tougher here Jan 3. Working steadily for her return, trainer Pete Miller is dropping her into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (Fried Pickles) (4-1) - Blinkers go on and Tommy Town runner is dropping down in class. Away slowly in his debut here Jan 24, he tired after rushing up to be near the front. From the Hollendorfer barn, the drop and addition of the 'hood' make him dangerous.
3rd pick: #6 (Coronado Cool) (7-2) - Another taking a drop, this filly is also switching from turf to dirt. She's shown speed facing tougher and has a pair of back-to-back local bullets showing for her first since Feb 27.
4th pick: #8 (Balboa Tradition) (8-1) - Away since a poor debut in late August at Del Mar, daughter of 'Big Brown' is working fast, drops down in class, and has blinkers added. In the barn of Doug O'Neill and this filly can factor at a big price if ready.
