Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (STORM PETREL) (5-2) - Speedy sort is moving from dirt to turf and stretching out around two-turns for the first time. In the Pletcher barn, the 'Hall of Famer' is dropping her into a claimer for the first time. Bred for the grass, Pletcher has positive stats in all the relevant categories.
2nd pick: #4 (Sassy Spirit) (10-1) - Home bred daughter of 'Blame' finished an even third last out at Belmont racing at this tag. It was her first in a claimer and first on the grass. She's a threat with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #5 (Two Below) (10-1) - She finished second of five, beaten five lengths when debuting at Suffolk Downs Oct 3 in the second of their one-day racing meets. The figure earned was low, but she can factor with a bit of improvement.
4th pick: #11 (Tiyo) (12-1) - Daughter of grass specialist 'Gio Ponti' raced evenly when debuting in the same Oct 15 contest as 'Sassy Spirit.' She was 2 1/2 lengths behind that rival and should improve with that first race under her belt.
