Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SWEETERTHANCANDY) (8-5) - She's dropping a bit in class, has blinkers added, and Bejarano is back aboard after a three race absence. He finished third going seven furlongs at Los Alamitos Dec 12 and he came back with a sharp half-mile work Dec 28.
2nd pick: #1 (Mad Mango) (5-2) - Filly has finished second in both appearances. She's racing first off a Phil D'Amato claim (29%) and speed/stalker breaks from the rail. Win candidate, he should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #6 (Secret Chords) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, lightly-raced 4-year-old enters off a pace-setting second-place finish at Del Mar at this tag and trip Nov 27. Claimed that day by veteran Ed Truman, he has her working steadily and she must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #10 (Jazzed) (15-1) - Not a win candidate, but with a patient ride she could close and pick up a minor award at a big price.
