Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SPINNING STAR) (5-2) - Lightly-raced filly ships down from Kentucky where she tired facing tougher going a mile at Churchill Downs for a $50K tag Nov. 6. It was a useful debut and Ramsey home bred takes a big drop in class while shortening up a furlong. Her last pair of works here were sharp and she's the top pick.
2nd pick: #9 (Bella's Legacy) (5-1) - Florida bred raced evenly when debuting here Dec. 7 going six furlongs for a $35K claiming price. Owner/trainer Lou Duco brings her back quickly, drops her down, and sends her a bit longer.
3rd pick: #3 (Bravucona) (15-1) - Filly showed early speed before tiring here going a mile Dec. 4. Improving sort is racing third back from a 100 day break and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #2 (Boxing Betty) (12-1) - Un-raced since her debut Nov. 3, filly tired badly that afternoon facing slightly tougher. Veteran Kate O'Connell (12% second time out) drops her down and had her work a sharp five furlongs Dec. 12.
