Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (STROLL WITH BECCA) (2-1) - This lightly raced filly has been idle since tiring in the Churchill slop going two-turns for a $25K tag Nov. 22. A maiden winner in her previous start at Keeneland, she's running today first off a Jorge Navarro claim. Working fast at Palm Meadows, the barn adds blinkers while cutting her back to seven furlongs. The 4yo gets top billing.
2nd pick: #3 (Talkthetalk) (8-5) - A maiden winner sprinting at Delaware Park Aug. 19, she's finished 3rd in two of three since then. Filly tired here after chasing a fast pace going a mile Dec. 6 and has been freshened up for almost two months. Down in class here, it's noted that leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. is aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Sister Jenna) (3-1) - A daughter of 'Candy Ride,' she's switching from turf to dirt, cutting back a furlong, and moving back in price. The last time she sprinted on the dirt, this 4yo broke her maiden by 5.5 lengths going 6.5 furlongs Nov. 14. In the mix.
