Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BEST BEHAVIOR) (5-2) - Mare is one of three entered in this stakes by trainer Marty Wolfson and they all race as separate betting interests. Speedy 5-year-old is working fast for her first since July 17. A stakes winner here at Gulfstream, her local record is at 15-5-4-3 and she's 3-2-1-0 at this distance. John Velazquez is aboard and she looks all set for her return to action.
2nd pick: #5 (Legal Laura) (8-1) - Stalker enters off a career best at Gulfstream Park West Nov 7. Going seven furlongs on the dirt in a $100K stakes, she rated just off the pace, rallied when asked, and she drew off to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Working fast since and a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Cali Star) (7-2) - Another from the Wolfson barn, she was an easy winner at this distance Nov 18 at Gulfstream Park West. It was her first back off a seven week break and first off a private trainer change to Wolfson. Working fast, she has the rail and a recency edge on 'Best Behavior.'
4th pick: #6 (Danessa Deluxe) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old was no match for 'Cali Star' last out, but she did plug along to hold down the place spot. Stretch runner is making back-to-back starts for the first time since late spring. May get a piece of this with a stretch rally.
