Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SCAT AWAY) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. Steady sort moves up in class following a series of four straight solid efforts facing weaker. One-run type draws a nice outside post at this trip and she's the only one of ten running that has won here on the main track in the past.
2nd pick: #5 (True Romance) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old is racing third off a 7 1/2 month layoff. She has early speed and was stakes placed 11 months ago at Laurel. Think she'll be involved from start-to-finish at a big price.
3rd pick: #9 (Predicate) (10-1) - Freshened up since early October, filly is working sharply for her return. Strong finisher fits with her best and has been in with some tougher fields in most of her 2015 starts.
4th pick: #1 (Know It All Anna) (3-1) - The second of the Rice trained fillies, speed/stalker missed by a 'head' at this level Oct 28 at Belmont. In shape, has the rail, and she's working nicely.
5th pick: #4 (Il Mulino) (6-1) - Stalker tackles winners for the first time following her maiden win at Belmont Oct 21. Well bred, in the Mott barn, and she has room for upside.
