Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (STARSHINER) (5-2) - Lightly-raced filly has some early speed and finished second here at this claiming price going a mile Jan 3. It was her first ever on the dirt and her first at this tag. Barn shortens up a furlong, has the rail, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Spring Me) (8-1) - Price play rallied to check in fourth of 12, beaten four lengths racing here at this tag going six furlongs Jan 9. Good effort came following a three month break and her connections give her a big rider up-grade for this attempt.
3rd pick: #6 (Forever Afleet) (5-1) - Canadian bred has been competitive several times facing tougher on both turf and 'poly.' This is her first ever on conventional dirt and veteran Nick Gonzalez is dropping her to a new low. A threat if she handles the new surface.
4th pick: #7 (Moonlight Time) (2-1) - Long shot raced evenly at this tag going six furlongs Jan 9. Home bred had a tough outside post (12th of 12) and draws better for this seven furlong distance. Stretch factor at a big price.
