Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (Endless Chat) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, daughter of 'Bernardini' is taking on winners for the first time. Improving 3yo broke her maiden going a one-turn mile at Churchill Downs Nov. 8th. It was her second back from almost a nine-month layoff, and she's been working nicely since shipping east. Juddmonte runner has the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (High Ridge Road) (9-5) - Much like 'Endless Chat,' she's well bred and lightly raced. $350,000 of 'Quality Road' rallied to break her maiden going a mile on a muddy surface here Nov. 12nd. Working fast and she's in the top barn of Chad Brown. Leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard.
3rd pick: #4 (Perfect Freud) (12-1) - Speedy veteran has a fine record on the dirt (12-4-4-2) and is the only one entered with previous success on this inner dirt surface. Mare is 3-2-1-0 on it and is dangerous at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Ansible) (5-1) - Grey filly rallied to finish 2nd here at this level going a mile on the dirt Nov. 20th. It was her first back off a seven-week freshening and first ever on the dirt. She needs to do better in this spot.
