Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (EIGHT O FIVE) (7-2) - She's taking a big drop after showing good early speed when debuting here facing much tougher Nov 30. Trainer Bill Della has won at a 15% rate with second time starters in 2018-19 and has breezed this filly twice for this attempt. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Understated Beauty) (6-1) - Competitive in all four attempts, latest saw her finish 4th of 7, missing by 2 lengths here at this tag Dec 7. Stalker draws well, has blinkers on, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Ladies Luv Munny) (3-1) - So. California shipper has shown fine early speed in both starts facing much tougher during the Fall meeting at Del Mar. She runs off a private trainer switch to Jon Wong 66 of 238 (28%) with new arrivals to his barn in 2018-19. He drops her way down in price for her local debut and she could win this if able to handle the all weather surface.
4th pick: #4 (Tiz the Standard) (8-1) - Longshot has a flexible style and has been competitive in two straight here at this tag. She was only a 'nose' behind 'Understated Beauty' Nov 15 and is capable of getting a slice of this.
