Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SKYLAR'S WAY) (5-2) - Filly has finished close up here in both starts here at this $10K claiming price after coming off a 10 month layoff Nov. 6. Latest saw her miss by a 1/2 length going 6.5 furlongs Nov 20 and I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Temple of Roses) (7-2) - She's been competitive in five straight attempts and was just under a length behind 'Skylar's Way' at this level and distance Nov 20. Speed/stalker is an obvious threat with Diego Saenz staying aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Money Sunk) (4-1) - Freshened up for just over four months, 4yo rallied to finish third at this trip just above this tag Aug. 12 at Louisiana Downs. Competitive here at this level and distance Feb 22, she's in the mix in today's opener.
4th pick: #4 (My Money Homey) (3-1) - A lightly raced 5yo mare, she rallied to finish fourth here at this tag, sprinting 5 furlongs Nov. 9. No-speed type would have her chances enhanced if the pace were fast and/or contested.
