Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (HANNAH'S SMILE) (7-2) - A lightly raced 5yo mare, state bred moves up in class and in with open company for this attempt. She was a sharp winner here at this trip facing fellow state breds Nov. 14 in in her first start in just under a year. Stalker draws a good post for her style and there's plenty of speed signed on to track and close into.
2nd pick: #1 (Restructure) (3-1) - She broke her maiden sprinting on the Saratoga turf Aug. 8 and earned a big figure doing so. Daughter of 'Blame' then rallied to finish 3rd at this level and distance Sept. 20 at Belmont. Freshened up since, 4yo is a late threat from her ground saving inside post.
3rd pick: #6 (La Piu Bella) (10-1) - Longshot moves up in class after missing by a 1/2 length here at this distance Nov. 15 racing for a $25,000 claiming price. 4yo has been competitive in all six starts this year and speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Elle's Town) (6-1) - $200,000 daughter of 'Speightstown' ships from Kentucky where she's been competitive in three straight turf sprints at this level. Her stalking style should play well in this spot and it's noted that Jose Ortiz is aboard.
