Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (INTERCESSION) (5-1) - Grey filly has more early speed than most and is racing back into shape following a seven month layoff. She raced evenly here facing a bit tougher in her local debut Dec. 21. Top barn (Danny Pish) has worked her fast since and drops her to a new low. Lightly-raced Texas bred has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Heaven's Devil) (3-1) - Mare has nine minor awards to go along with her one victory. She missed by a 'head' here going a mile facing just a bit softer Dec. 16. Nice effort and a repeat of it makes her dangerous.
3rd pick: #2 (Forest Danger) (7-2) - Lightly-raced mare drops to a new low for her first race since Aug. 10. She fits on figures and a near bullet half-mile local breeze Dec 22 indicates she may be ready off the five month layoff.
4th pick: #4 (Amazin Secret) (6-1) - Filly faces winner after scoring here when debuting at this seven furlong trip Dec. 17. Heavily bet that day, she's moving up in class, but 4-year-old has plenty of room for upside.
