Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (LUCKY POLLY) (3-1) - Freshened up since Oct. 4, she missed by a 'neck' that afternoon going a mile at Keeneland. Competitive in her debut Sept. 5 at Kentucky Downs, I give this daughter of 'Lookin At Lucky' top billing.
2nd pick: #7 (Lookintogetlucky) (7-2) - Filly rallied from far back to check in 4th of 12, missing by 2.5 lengths debuting here at this distance Dec. 8. $110K purchase had a tough outside post (12 of 12), draws better, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Osaka Girl) (4-1) - Speedy filly gets the addition of Lasix today after missing by just under a length here Dec. 7. It was her first race in two months and this home bred has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard for the first time. A Daughter of 'First Samurai' must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #2 (Choose to Be Happy) (6-1) - Sprinter is stretching out after finishing second in three straight grass sprints at this level. Grey daughter of 'Liam's Map' has a nice post and is dangerous if she handles the additional yardage.
