Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TAPIT TO RIDE) (5-1) - Competitive in both starts, this $250K daughter of 'Tapit' missed by just under two lengths here Dec. 6. She has positional speed, draws outside of the other pace types, and is from the Pletcher barn. I give her a slim edge in a contest where you should box any wagers made.
2nd pick: #6 (Elle M'a Souri) (9-2) - French import has missed by a 'nose' and a 'neck' in her last pair in Kentucky. Working steadily at Payson Park, she's an obvious win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (In Front) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, this daughter of 'War Front' has been competitive in all three starts, each on the grass at this level. She has a speed/stalking style and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #5 (Perfect View) (15-1) - Longshot raced evenly while wide here Dec. 22. She worked fast at the Palm Meadows Center Jan. 8 and is from a capable barn (Jorge Abreu).
5th pick: #4 (Elizabeth Way) (8-1) - Irish import finished 2nd in two of four starts last year in her native land and each came facing males. Lasix is added, and this daughter of 'Frankel' is dangerous if ready.
