Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HANDLE WITH CARE) (3-1) - Filly needed 14 starts to get her maiden win which came here going 6.5 furlongs just 6 days ago facing $25K state bred claimers. 4yo speed/stalker has improved since being claimed by Mertkan Kantarmaci for $20,000 in late July at Saratoga and think she can win right back.
2nd pick: #3 (Chillinwithfriends) (5-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, she raced both wide and evenly when finishing fourth here at this level Nov. 1. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez is adding blinkers (20%)and this filly drops 4 lbs with apprentice Hernandez aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Ma Meatloaf) (7-2) - She set a pressured pace here at this level on a muddy surface Nov. 1 before tiring to check in third, beaten just over 4 lengths while a 1/2 in front of 'Chillinwithfriends'. Stakes placed as a 2yo in 2018, she's in the mix today.
