Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FLATAWAY) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Flatter' ran evenly when debuting Oct 16 at Belmont Park going seven furlongs. Trainer Todd Pletcher (24% second-time out) drops her in class (33%), stretches her out in distance (26%), and adds blinkers (24%). She has the rail and is bred to enjoy this longer trip.

2nd pick: #4 (First Showing) (6-1) - Filly raced evenly while having some serious traffic issues when debuting in a Belmont Park sprint Oct 22. Daughter of 'Bluegrass Cat' worked a bullet half-mile Nov 28 and that suggests a better effort is coming. She has the aggressive veteran C.C. Lopez back on the re-ride.

3rd pick: #3 (Night Madam) (2-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Gary Contessa and the pair race as separate betting interests. He has her dropping in class and switching from turf to dirt. Contends today.

4th pick: #2 (Legend of Lorelei) (4-1) - The second of the Contessa fillies, she's been racing evenly in her dirt sprints and is trying a two-turn distance for the first. She should have a good spot throughout, but needs to do better during the stretch run.
