Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BOULE) (8-5) - Lightly-raced and improving, 3-year-old has been freshened up since Oct. 4. Home bred finished second that afternoon at Belmont going 8.5 furlongs at this level. Working fast, she should love this one-turn mile trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Big Mara) (6-1) - Speedy mare moves up in class and stretches out in distance following a Chris Englehart claim. Filly has won four in a row facing weaker going shorter, but is too sharp to toss.
3rd pick: #4 (Just Got Out) (9-2) - Veteran mare rallied to finish a distant second here at this level and distance Nov. 8. It was her second back from a three month layoff and 6-year-old has run well here at this trip in the past. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Stay Fond) (4-1) - Repole home bred has been on the sidelines since Sept. 23. Even paced type has finished second and fourth in a pair at this level and a fast and/or contested pace would aid her chances.
