Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AMERICAN FALLS) (4-1) - Note: This race has been taken 'of the turf' and switched to the main track. A daughter of 'Curlin,' she rallied mildly to finish 3rd at this level and distance on the dirt Feb. 1. She gets top billing here, but make sure you box your bets in this contest.

2nd pick: #1 (Lily Con) (6-1) - $110K purchase tired badly here at this tag and trip Jan. 5. Well backed that day, it was only her second start and first since debuting in a Del Mar sprint July 28. From a good barn (Rich Baltas), she has the rail here and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.

3rd pick: #3 (Lil Respect) (3-1) - This filly is from the same trainer (Rich Baltas) as 'Lily Con,' and she's only made one start. That came here Dec. 28 going 6.5 furlongs on the grass facing tougher, and she raced evenly while beaten by almost seven lengths in a useful educational type run. Down in class and on the dirt, she's a win candidate in this spot.
