Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (TIZ SEEKING A WIN) (5-1) - Price play is racing second back from a three-month break, drops to a new low, and draws a fine outside post for this seven-furlong distance. She has some early speed and enters off an even 4th place finish going six furlongs for a $50K tag Feb. 20.

2nd pick: #5 (Outa Here) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's making her third start, and is taking the big drop into claimers for the first time. $170K purchase finished 4th facing tougher Feb. 5. And along with the drop, trainer Pete Eurton has Bejarano aboard for the first time. An obvious contender.

3rd pick: #3 (Irish Dame) (7-2) - She takes the same big drop as 'Outa Here.' Grey filly also moves from grass to dirt and shortens up in distance. She's working fast, and it's noted that leading rider Flavien Prat is signed on for the first time.

4th pick: #4 (Discreta) (3-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, she tired here facing tougher Feb. 18. Only her second start, it was her first back from a three-month break. She's dropping down, stretching out, has blinkers off, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Her early speed must be respected.
