Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (RAMONA'S WILDCAT) (8-5) - Mare has spent her entire career on the West Coast facing 'open' company. Both of this stretch runner's wins have come on conventional dirt. She's racing first off a a trainer change to Tom Amoss (19% angle) and 5yo is facing fellow Louisiana breds for the first time. Working very fast since shipping East, and she gets a slight edge over her uncoupled barn-mate #2 'Miss Ruby's Legacy.'
2nd pick: #2 (Miss Ruby's Legacy) (3-1) - The uncoupled stable-mate of 'Ramona,' she's fast from the gate and has finished 2nd in two straight here at this level and distance. Lightly raced, she worked a fast half-mile here Jan. 25th to get ready for her first start since Dec. 20th. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Squatty) (6-1) - Mare has won four of 12 racing on the dirt and was an easy winner here at this distance in an entry-level allowance for state breds Jan. 3rd. 5yo draws a nice post in this small field and is a threat down the stretch.
