Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SWEETER THANCANDY) (7-2) - Long time maiden has finished 2nd in both starts here since dropping down to this $20K claiming price. She has a flexible style and draws outside of the speed in this 6.5-furlong contest. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Ryderoo) (4-1) - Mare ran evenly without threatening here at this tag going 5.5 furlongs Jan. 17th. It was her first since September 1 of 2014, so she most likely needed the effort. Competitive many times in the past facing better, he's worked twice since, and should move forward enough to contend.

3rd pick: #2 (Rockport Dancer) (7-2) - She was sent hard at the break here Jan. 28th when dropped into a claimer for the first time. Filly set a quick and pressured pace before weakening to check in 3rd, a bit more than a length behind 'Sweeter Thancandy.' A major player in this spot.

4th pick: #10 (Just Bookin) (6-1) - Blinkers go on for her third start back from two-month freshening. Her local record is good (7-0-3-2), and she draws a nice outside post for her stalking style. Can impact at a square price.
