Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ELITE HEIR) (6-1) - Stretch out sprinter is racing back into shape after coming off a 10 week break Nov. 10. She finished second here at this level going 5 furlongs on the grass Dec. 6, then was bumped at the start and had a wide trip under similar conditions Dec. 24. Longshot has a fine post and stalker has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #10 (Nile Princess) (2-1) - The morning line favorite make her Gulfstream debut after competing her whole career on the NYRA circuit. She has a new trainer (Luis Ramirez) and he drops her to a new low in claiming price. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Proud Legacy) (5-1) - Speedy filly finished a close up fourth at this level and distance Dec. 13, then tired late in her follow up Jan. 4 under similar conditions. Her early speed against this group makes her a threat to go wire-to-wire.
4th pick: #1 (Little Baby Bella) (6-1) - She as early speed, breaks from the rail, and was only a length in back of 'Proud Legacy' here at this level Nov. 19. Filly is capable of getting a share with a bit of improvement.
