Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (WAR ROSE) (5-1) - She had a very rough trip when debuting here against tougher Dec. 27. Down in price, she has blinkers on and John Velazquez stays aboard. Home bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Cassidy's Smile) (6-1) - Home bred exits the same last race as 'War Rose' and also had traffic issues. She made up some ground late and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #2 (Courtesy Notice) (7-2) - This filly moves up in class after finishing a fast-closing fourth here for a $20K tag Dec. 28. It was a good effort and leading rider Luis Saez is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #8 (Teenage Idol) (9-2) - Lasix is added as she takes a big drop in class in her second attempt. Trainer Mike Maker (20% second time out) wins at a 22% clip on this drop, and Javier Castellano stays loyal.
