Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HAPPY LIKE A FOOL) (8-5) - This stakes winning filly is taking a big drop following appearances in seven straight 'Graded' stakes. Competitive in all, she won Pimlico's Miss Preakness (G3) at this distance May 18 and has finished close up in a G1 and G2 after coming off a 4.5-month layoff Oct. 6. Working fast, she'll win this with a clean beginning.
2nd pick: #3 (Honor Way) (5-1) - In her last four starts on the dirt, she's gone 3-0-1 and was a very sharp winner on a sloppy surface Oct. 14 at Keeneland racing a bit below this level. It was her first since Aug. 20 and a career best figure was earned. Dangerous today at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Mines and Magic) (7-2) - Mare missed by a 'nose' here at this level and distance Sept. 28, then was beaten a 'neck' under similar conditions Oct. 25 at Keeneland. Stalker has the rail and is a stretch threat today.
