Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BODHICITTA) (7-2) - English import had some traffic issues when beaten 4 lengths here in a stakes Dec 28. It was her first since a sharp maiden win here Oct 20 and she re-unites with Flavien Prat while dropping in class.

2nd pick: #1 (Courteous) (5-1) - The main speed, she tired late after setting solid splits to finish 3rd here at this level going 9 furlongs Jan 1. She's worked fast since, has the rail, and is shortening up. 4yo should be in this from gate-to-wire.

3rd pick: #9 (Peter's Kitten) (9-2) - She made up a bit of ground last out to finish a 'nose' behind 'Courteous' Jan 1. It was her first race since July 21 and she probably needed the effort. Rosario is back aboard and a fast/and or contested pace makes this mare a strong win candidate.

4th pick: #10 (She's Our Charm) (12-1) - Lightly raced 4yo has been idle since breaking her maiden at this distance Aug 18 at Del Mar. Well bred filly has room for upside and may factor at a big price.
