Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FARRELL) (8-5) - The morning line favorite and a deserving one. Since tiring in her debut at Churchill Downs last Sept., this daughter of 'Malibu Moon' has won four of five and has scored in three straight stakes. The latest pair came here, including the traditional prep for this, the G2 Rachel Alexandria Stakes at this distance Feb. 25. Home bred will be very tough to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Daria's Angel) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bret Calhoun and the pair race uncoupled. By far the more talented, this filly is facing winners for the first time. She was a very impressive maiden winner here Feb. 18 in her first in two months and first around two-turns. Speedy, improving, and dangerous.

3rd pick: #1 (Majestic Quality) (6-1) - One of a pair in from California for trainer Keith Desormeaux and they race uncoupled. Maiden finished second to 'Farrell' here Feb. 25 and has been working nicely at Santa Anita since then. Stalker has the rail and can grab a share following a ground-saving trip.

4th pick: #7 (Summer Luck) (9-2) - She was scratched out of today's Gulfstream park Oaks (G2) to run here. Strong finisher has been competitive in all five starts and has been sharp in a pair of stakes in Florida heading into this. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
