Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HEAD SHRINKER) (2-1) - Improving filly was scratched the other day to await this spot. Stalker has finished 2nd in two straight since dropping down to this level. She draws a nice outside post for this distance, and leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Love You Babe) (5-1) - Filly moves up a bit in class after finishing 2nd here for a $25K tag Nov. 13th. She has some early speed, breaks from the rail, and can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Champagne Therapy) (12-1) - Unraced since Oct. 2nd, she's dropping into a claimer for the first time. Working steadily and trainer Rich Schosberg adds blinkers.
4th pick: #1a (Night Madame) (10-1) - Home bred is coupled in the wagering with #1 'Stone Age Honey.' Well bred filly is another dropping down. Her connections switch her from grass to dirt and shorten her up in distance.
