Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MEATBALL MADNESS) (6-1) - Price play is racing second back from a four month layoff. She raced evenly after hitting the gate here in an 'off the turf' contest at this level Oct. 21. Owner/trainer John Morrison brings her back in 10 days and gives her a big rider upgrade to Jose Ortiz.
2nd pick: #11 (Bea Bea) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she tired here in an 'off the turf' contest Oct. 9. Competitive in both prior grass sprints at this level, she worked fast Oct. 24 and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Brandi's Diva) (5-1) - Very lightly-raced, filly has been on the sidelines since July 4. She races first off a Steve Asmussen claim (16%) and is competing on the grass after tiring in her first pair on the Tapeta surface at Presque Isle Downs. She has the rail and Irad Ortiz Jr. is signed on.
4th pick: #10 (Persky's Spirit) (10-1) - Stalker finished second here in a switched contest at this level Oct. 9. A career best overall, she may grab a share on the grass at a big price.
5th pick: #9 (Celtic Serenade) (8-1) - On the sidelines since July 16, she finished an even fourth that day racing here on the grass at this level. Capable of getting a slice if ready off the 3.5 month layoff.
