Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HEAVEN'S WILL) (6-5) - The probable favorite, grey mare defeated a tougher field than this at the same distance Jan 11. However, she was disqualified a week later for a medication violation. Race was her first in almost 4 1/2 months and she should get her 'official' maiden win this afternoon.

2nd pick: #3 (Thegirlwiththecurl) (15-1) - Long shot is lightly-raced and is stretching out in her third back from a very long layoff (21-months). Very wide last out going six furlongs, it's interesting that leading rider Scott Stevens sticks with her as he had other options.

3rd pick: #4 (Bevisioned) (3-1) - The main speed, she tired after setting a pressured pace in the same last race as Heaven's Will'. Mare is well bred and began her career on the tougher So. California circuit. Her early speed makes her dangerous.

4th pick: #7 (Goose Bumps) (5-1) - Another with good breeding ('High Cotton') filly is stretching back out after a good effort sprinting here at this tag Jan 30. 4-year-old has been competitive at this distance in the past and must be left in the mix.
