Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (OUR FIRST GIRL) (9-2) - Lightly-raced filly has finished second in both starts at this level going 6.5-furlongs. $290K daughter of 'War Front' has early speed and is bred to enjoy this mile distance. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #10 (La Boheme) (5-2) - German import was competitive in all three starts racing in England. She rallied to finish second in her local debuting Jan 14 going nine furlongs. Working fast since and an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Rue de Cry) (5-1) - She rallied to finish third here Jan 14 and was almost two lengths back of 'La Boheme.' It was career best and her first back off an eight week break. Can factor with a bit of improvement.

4th pick: #5 (Entebbe) (6-1) - Minor player has some late foot and may grab a share at a big price with a stretch rally.

5th pick: #6 (Exuberante) (10-1) - English import has raced since Nov 15 and that was her first in almost 17 months. Working well, but may need some conditioning efforts before showing her best.
