Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (VELVET JONES) (5-2) - "Velvet' is racing second back from a long layoff. She's dropping way down in class while switching from grass to dirt. Filly was competitive in her return Oct. 29 at Santa Anita facing tougher on the turf and is nicely spotted by leading trainer Peter Miller.
2nd pick: #3 (Besides the Point) (5-1) - One-run type moves up off a pair of good efforts at Santa Anita during October. In shape and grey filly should receive a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #4 (Dangerously Close) (4-1) - Lightly-raced home bred has sharp early speed and has been competitive in all but one of her five starts. She chased and held down the place spot here facing similar Nov. 11 and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #1 (Pomp and Party) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced Arizona bred has been competitive in all three starts. She just missed facing tougher here Aug. 30 and is dropping down. She has the rail and must be left in the mix.
