Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HEY KITTEN) (2-1) - Filly is dropping into a claimer for the first time after having a wide trip and some traffic issues when missing by 3.5 lengths here facing special weights Dec. 8. It was her first start in 2.5 months and I like that she's back in 18 days for this assignment.
2nd pick: #8 (Harmonic Thunder) (7-2) - She raced both wide and evenly when debuting here facing tougher Dec. 8. Daughter of 'Honor Code' has worked twice since for the hot barn of Saffie Joseph Jr (25% 2nd time out) and he's adding both blinkers and Javier Castellano.
3rd pick: #3 (Unexplained) (4-1) - Home bred finished 7th of 12, beaten 4.5 lengths debuting here facing tougher Dec. 7. Both the winner and second-place runner from the contest returned with next out victories and this filly is another from a barn on a good roll Ralph Nicks 35-9-8-4 at this meet. In the mix.
