Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LORILOUPIES) (3-1) - Bred for speed, filly is one of two making their debuts. In steady training off-site for a very good barn (Saffie Joseph Jr.), she meets a weak field, draws well, and daughter of 'Rattlesnake Ridge' gets top billing.
2nd pick: #3 (Glory Dia) (5-2) - She's switching back to the dirt following a pair off good efforts sprinting on the turf. One-run type has gone 3-0-1-2 on the main track and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Erv's Wench) (6-1) - Longshot drops after breaking slowly and being never involved debuting against tougher at this distance on a sloppy surface at Churchill Downs Nov 7. She worked a solid half-mile here Dec 14, drops, and this field drew a weak group for the $50K tag. It would be no surprise if she runs much better in this spot.
