Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (DIVA LA MOUSSE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, 4yo missed by just under a length racing here at this tag & trip Feb 4. A career best, it was her first in a claimer and she has a fin series of works heading into this attempt.

2nd pick: #4 (Himmah) (4-1) - I liked this Irish import last out, but she raced evenly following a slow break facing tougher at this distance Dec 30. Down in class, turf specialist Flaven Prat is aboard for this assignment. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Foxtail) (6-1) - Longshot raced evenly when debuting here Feb 4. 4yo finished only 3 lengths in back of 'Diva La Mousse' that afternoon and can factor with normal 2nd out improvement.

4th pick: #7 (Gia Lula) (8-1) - Another longshot, has been on the sidelines since Oct 15. Competitive in her first three starts her form went sour in a pair last fall. Her one grass start was encouraging and 3yo is working steadily for her return.
