Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (RISE TO THE TOP) (2-1) - She raced evenly in a well backed debut Nov. 26th. Filly was facing a bit tougher and lost position coming out of the gate when she was 'brushed' by another runner. She drops in class for the 'red hot' Rudy Rodriguez (24% second time out), and he had her work a bullet half-mile here Dec. 22nd.
2nd pick: #2 (Egyptian Rose) (5-2) - From another barn on a hot streak (Linda Rice), this filly is much like 'Rise to the Top.' She ran evenly facing better when debuting here Dec. 16th. Rice drops her down, and trainer wins at a solid 33% second time out.
3rd pick: #5 (Love for Scarlett) (6-1) - Filly is taking another drop in class and an even effort at Philly Park for a $40K tag Dec. 7th. It would only take a small step forward for her to contend against this group at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Pinot Meunier) (5-1) - Philly Park invader rallied to finish 2nd there at this tag and trip Dec. 20th. It was an improvement over her debut, but she needs to step it up for anything more than a minor award.
