Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (FLOWER KISSER) (8-1) - Filly is one of two entered by leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. $150K purchase hasn't raced since showing good early speed when facing tougher Sept 11 at Belmont Park. Barn is dropping her into a claimer and she has a shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #1 (Wolf Letter) (3-1) - The second from trainer Rodriguez, daughter of 'Midnight Lute' is one of two making their debuts. Training locally, she has the rail and Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard. Rodriguez wins at a 22% rate first out over the past 14.5 months.
3rd pick: #7 (Good Laugh) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she's dropping into a claimer after a pair of good efforts facing tougher. She's finished second and third in those and has a sharp recent work. A contender, but no lock at a short price.
4th pick: #3 (Sweet Peaches) (7-2) - Un-raced since Nov 14, filly has some early speed and is taking the same drop in class as 'Good Laugh.' Working well locally, her trainer (Danny Gargan) has had a solid meet and wins at a 29% clip off of long absences.
