Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SISTER DRAMA) (7-2) - Lightly raced and consistent, she had some traffic issues when finishing 2nd here at this level and distance Dec. 13. It was her first following a claim and first back from a two-month absence. She worked fast Jan. 7 and can take this with a trouble free trip.
2nd pick: #5 (Freckle de Freck) (8-1) - Long time maiden won here going a mile for a $20K tag Dec. 23. Speed/stalker is brought back quickly, and this mare has worked twice since the win. Can factor today at a big price.
3rd pick: #3 (Bullet Theblue Sky) (6-1) - Strong finisher made up some ground during the stretch run of her local debut Dec. 28. It was her first away from Woodbine and first off a Mike DePaulo claim. And I like that Tyler Gaffalione is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #9 (Little Irishdancer) (4-1) - This filly drops to a new low and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since the summer. One run type has leading rider Luis Saez aboard for the first time, and this 4yo filly can impact if able to avoid a wide trip.
