Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (KABUKI) (5-1) - This filly is facing winners following a sharp maiden win here going six furlongs for a $10K tag Nov. 26. Nicely spotted by trainer Lisa Lewis, this daughter of 'Afleet Alex' has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Starship Impulse) (3-1) - 4yo rallied to finish 2nd at this level Nov. 18 in her second start back following almost a nine-month layoff. Dangerous today if she improves a bit off that fine effort.
3rd pick: #7 (Tavrida) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Curlin' has been sharp in all three starts since coming off an 11-month absence Oct. 28. One run type just missed at this level Nov. 24 and is an obvious contender with a repeat of that attempt.
4th pick: #10 (Mamachita) (9-2) - Mare rallied to finish a distant 2nd at this level Dec. 3. Competitive in all three starts following a 3.5-month layoff, she must over-come a tough outside post. Can factor if that's the case.
