Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NATIVE CROSSING) (5-2) - She came to life last out when dropped down to this $30K claiming price for the first time. Filly saved ground from her inside post and rallied to finish 2nd, beaten just under a length. She's worked since and gets a slight edge, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #4 (Game Girl) (3-1) - Freshened up since Jan. 8th, she ran 3rd of seven, beaten 1.5 lengths that day facing a bit tougher. It was her first in a claimer and first racing in blinkers. A contender in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Tizcara) (7-2) - Daughter of 'Tiznow' takes the big drop into claimers for the first time. She just missed here facing tougher Dec. 11th, but has raced very poorly in a follow up pair. Working well, and she gets a big rider up-grade to Kendrick Carmouche.
4th pick: #9 (Pranzare) (4-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, she has early speed, and is taking the same big drop as 'Tizcara.' She also gets a rider up-grade to veteran Aaron Gryder.
