Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SHE BE STRIKING) (3-1) - English bred never raced there while being very sharp in all three starts on this circuit. She finished second as the favorite at this level going a mile Oct. 26 at Santa Anita and 4yo by 'Smart Strike' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Sutro) (2-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, stretch runner rallied from far back to finish second at this level going a mile Oct. 26 at Santa Anita. A career best, it was her first since Aug. 17 and $160K purchase retains the services of the very selective Mike Smith.
3rd pick: #8 (Decorating) (5-1) - Daughter of international stallion 'Galileo' has been idle since Oct. 4 when she lost her rider in a race at Laurel where she was a heavy favorite. She had just missed at this distance in her previous start Aug. 25 at Monmouth and has worked three times here since arriving. A factor today.
4th pick: #6 (Arctic Roll) (8-1) - Another English bred, she raced evenly at this level Oct. 26 at Santa Anita in her first race in No. America. She was four lengths in back of 'Sutro' that afternoon and runs today with blinkers on.
