Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DELTA'S KINGDOM) (3-1) - She rallied from close range to finish 2nd here at this level and distance Dec 30. It was her first on the grass and a huge improvement off her debut on a sloppy surface Nov 16 at Aqueduct. Working steadily at Payson Park, she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Dearly Declared) (9-2) - This filly set a solid pace and held to finish 3rd here Jan 6. It was her first start in two months, first on the grass, and by far her best to date. She's dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #12 (Heart d'Oro) (12-1) - Longshot debuts off a solid series of works at Payson Park. From a capable barn (Rodolphe Brisset), her post is a negative, but this $270,000 daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' can factor if able to avoid a wide trip.
4th pick: #9 (Comic City) (7-2) - A Juddmonte home bred by the late 'City Zip', she makes her debut for trainer Chad Brown (20% first out). Filly has been in steady training at Palm Meadows since late November and is an obvious contender from a top barn.
