Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (ENCHANTING KITTEN) (5-2) - This filly is one of two entered by trainer Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly raced daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' missed by a 1/2-length here at this level and distance Dec. 13 in her first start since Aug. 3. 4yo has room for upside and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #9 (Quant) (7-2) - Mare raced evenly down the stretch here Dec. 13 to finish two lengths behind 'Enchanting Kitten.' Home bred by 'War Front' has some early speed, has blinkers added, and John Velazquez is back aboard following a one-race absence.
3rd pick: #2 (Palinodie) (6-1) - French import missed by a 'nose' Oct. 26 at Belmont in her second start back after almost a 10-month layoff. She regressed in her follow up a month later at Aqueduct and enters this off a bullet half-mile breeze Dec. 27 at Payson park. It's noted that Irad Ortiz, Jr. is signed on.
4th pick: #5 (Warranty) (9-2) - The second of the pair from Chad Brown, this strong finisher won here going a mile facing weaker Dec. 14. Training fine since, she's a stretch threat despite a big move up in class.
