Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (FLATAWAY) (8-5) - Home bred daughter of 'Flatter' set a pressured pace and held until the final furlong when she weakened to check in third of nine, beaten two lengths. Race was at this level and distance Jan 7. The top pick in a poor field.
2nd pick: #4 (Mary Pray for Us) (15-1) - Long shot has some early speed and is racing off a 2 1/2 month break. Working steadily, her ability to break running could have her in this from gate-to-wire at a big price.
3rd pick: #1 (You Lucky Dog) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Dublin' is stretching out in distance for the first time. She chased and tired here going six furlongs at this tag Dec 27. She has the rail and it's very interesting that leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. is getting aboard. Must be left in the mix.
