Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BULLETPROOF ONE) (6-1) - Longshot has excellent early speed and is stretching out in distance in her first race since Nov 1. She missed by a 'head' facing 'open' company in a sprint stakes here Oct 6 in her only previous attempt on the grass. She's the main speed in a race full of one-run types and I like her chances at pulling off an upset.

2nd pick: #5 (Warren's Showtime) (3-1) - She paid $72.00 when defeating 'open' company in a $100K one mile grass stakes Oct 6 at Del Mar. Competitive in all five starts, both career wins have come on the turf and she's an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Been Studying Her) (4-1) - Homebred by 'Fast Anna' switches to the grass after winning 3 of her first five on the dirt. A two-time stakes winner, the stalker is bred for the grass and it's always a plus when Mike Smith takes the mount.

4th pick: #10 (Cholula Lips) (6-1) - A stakes winner on the dirt at this trip Dec 14, she raced evenly when finishing 3.5 lengths behind 'Warren's Showtime' in her only previous grass attempt. Stalker must be left in the mix.
