Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (I CALL) (2-1) - Filly has been on the sidelines since Nov 17 when she finished a pace-setting third going 6 furlongs for a $20K tag facing 'open' company at Hawthorne. She races off a private trainer change to Brett Brinkman, has Tim Thornton aboard, and most importantly, she's in with fellow Louisiana breds for the first time.
2nd pick: #7 (Double Angel) (9-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, she tired here going 5 furlongs facing much tougher Dec. 21. Only her second start, trainer Lee Thomas drops her into a claimer for the first time. Daughter of 'El Corredor' is dangerous in this spot
3rd pick: #1 (Suckerforagrey) (4-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, she's gone 8-0-2-2 overall and enters off a second place finish here at this tag and trip Jan. 4. Home bred has the rail and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Sarah's Prayer) (7-2) - Speedy filly set the pace before tiring late to finish 4th here Jan. 4. She was only a 1/2 length behind 'Suckerforagrey' that evening but has a tougher task today as 'I Call' is much faster from the gate.
