Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CHAYBABY) (3-1) - One of two making their debuts this daughter of 'Curlin' cost $975,000 as a Keeneland Sales Yearling back in Sep of 2015. She has the normal quick works showing from the Baffert barn and trainer went 18 for 75 (24%) with first-time-starters during 2016.

2nd pick: #3 (Dominating Women) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she rallied from well back to finish second when debuting at this level Dec 8 at Los Alamitos going 5.5-furlongs. Nice first attempt and it's noted that she was bet down to 3-1 that afternoon. She's worked fast since and stretches out in distance for a 24% second out barn (Peter Miller).

3rd pick: #4 (Mannerly) (5-2) - Grey filly cost $315K and has been competitive in both starts to date. She showed early speed in her debut, then came from behind in her latest. Working fast and daughter of 'Unbridled's Song' must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Diamondinthecenter) (12-1) - Longshot moves out in the gate and is stretching out in distance. She tired at Los Alamitos Dec 8 after being sent hard at the break from her inside post. Working above average since, she's capable of competing today at a big price.
