Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MILBRA) (6-1) - Long time maiden switches back to the dirt following a 4th place finish in a grass sprint Nov. 27th. One run type has the rail and should receive a fast and/or contested pace to close into. She has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Check Out Gilda) (2-1) - The morning line favorite tired when debuting in a two turn grass race facing much tougher Oct. 1st. On the sidelines since, she's been sold privately, and has a new trainer. Grey filly moves to the dirt, shortens up in distance, takes a big drop, and has blinkers added. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #12 (Satire) (9-2) - She tired racing very wide as the heavy favorite racing here at this level Dec. 10th. I don't think she cared for the sloppy surface that day, and I expect her to do better in this spot.
4th pick: #8 (Homegrown Honey) (12-1) - Churchill shipper tired when debuting there for a $15K price tag Nov. 23rd. She drops slightly and may grab a share at a big price.
5th pick: #7 (Roraima Dos) (8-1) - Nice debut saw her press the pace and hold gamely to finish 3rd here Dec. 10th. Ignored in the wagering (34-1) that day, she can factor with normal second out improvement.
