Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (GONE ROSE) (6-1) - Longshot goes grass to dirt, drops slightly, and stretches back out in distance. Even paced type has the rail, and trainer Gus Delgado gives her a rider upgrade. The top pick, but make sure you reverse your exactas with her.
2nd pick: #2 (Alsterone) (6-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, filly ships from Churchill where she finished a distant third in a small field (5) going a mile for a $50K tag Nov 6. Trainer Ed Kenneally 8-2-4-0 at the meet drops her way down in class and she's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Backseat Driver) (8-1) - She's stretching out in distance and has her claiming price halved. Filly had no chance last out sprinting here for twice this tag Dec 10. She had a tough post (11th of 12) and was hung wide the whole trip. May grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Ola Yola) (10-1) - Longshot was never involved when she broke poorly when debuting for a $25K tag Oct 15. She worked well Dec 10 and is from a very strong second out barn of Ed Loza Jr. (32%).
