Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (IPRAY) (8-5) - The probable favorite, filly missed by a 'nose' here at this tag and trip Jan. 31st. It matched a career best overall and came in her second back from a seven-week freshening. Trainer Hector Palma has given her a month of rest and has worked her twice during that period. Adding to the positives, Raf Bejarano stays aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (Warren's Tricia R.) (5-2) - She's racing second back off almost a half-year's absence. Never involved facing tougher in her return on the grass Jan. 24th, her connections drop her down in class, switch her to the dirt, and send her longer. She's worked fast twice for this, and trainer George Gutierrez puts her blinkers back on after a one race absence. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Margie's Minute) (7-2) - The probable pace-setter, she racing third back off a two-month layoff and is dropping down to a new low in claiming price. Mare has the rail and her early speed makes her dangerous.
