Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (RUNAWAY MONEY) (7-2) - Speedy mare moves up in class and is shortening up in distance. She tired last out after setting a pressured pace in her start off a 2.5-month layoff. Good barn (Francisco Bravo) brings her back in eight days for this attempt.

2nd pick: #7 (She Be Fast) (4-1) - Another with early speed, she's dropping back down following a 3rd place finish here at this distance facing tougher Feb. 5th. Nice effort, and filly has a good record racing on conventional dirt (12-3-2-2). Win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Armonica) (5-2) - The 'class' of the field, Mexican bred is dropping in class, switches from grass to dirt, and is cutting back in distance. Mare ran very wide here on the turf going 8.5 furlongs facing tougher Jan. 30th. Most likely it was a conditioning run as she hadn't raced since April. She's won at this seven-furlong trip in the past and is a major threat.
