Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (GABY'S DREAM) (5-2) - She's rallied to finish 3rd in her last pair for a $20K tag and is dropping down to this afternoon's $16,000 claiming price for the first time. Filly has a ground saving post and trainer Saffie Joseph Jr is adding blinkers a 21% move by him during the past year. I give her a slim edge.
2nd pick: #13 (Ruthyla) (9-2) - This filly raced both wide and evenly when finishing 4th of 12, beaten 5.5 lengths here for a $25K ta Dec. 11. It was her first following a Mike Maker claim, a positive effort, and he drops her down while adding blinkers.
3rd pick: #2 (Debbies Utubediva) (5-1) - A daughter of 'Verrazano', she's missed by two lengths in her last pair a bit tougher. One-run type drops a bit, has a ground saving post, and is a late threat.
4th pick: #6 (Snow and Lillylynn) (8-1) - Grey filly has some early speed and is moving back to the grass while stretching back out in distance. She may hold down a share at a big price if able to get an uncontested lead in the first half-mile
