Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (KENTUCKY ROAD) (5-2) - Filly was claimed in late October by trainer John Toscano Jr. for $50,000. Originally with Todd Pletcher, she finished a pace-pressing second the day she changed barns. Freshened up for the past seven weeks, she's been working very fast for her return and is well spotted.
2nd pick: #4 (Trapper Jane) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she chased a gte-to-wire winner last out before weakening to finish third. Race was at this tag and trip and represented a solid debut. Barn (John Parisella) has been sharp for the past five weeks. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Steve's Philly) (7-2) - She rallied late to edge 'Trapper Jane' out of the place spot by a 'neck' Nov 26. She's worked since, is improving, and must be left in the mix.
