Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (EMILY'S PEGASUS) (7-2) - She raced both wide and evenly after breaking from an outside post (9 of 9) here at this level and distance Dec. 18. It was her first following a claim by Bob Diodoro and she draws a much better starting slot for this attempt. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #1 (Golden Bet) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she was involved every step when missing by a 'neck' at this tag and trip Dec. 18. Mare earned a career best figure and is an obvious win candidate with leading rider Tim Thornton staying aboard.
3rd pick: #10 (Wild Bottom Blues) (10-1) - Mare broke her maiden here Nov. 20 going 6.5 furlongs, then tired badly at this level at the same distance Dec. 14. She's shortening up for this attempt and is capable of getting a minor award at a square price.
