Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TOTAL TREASURE) (6-1) - Price play broke poorly and raced very wide here for twice this claiming price at this distance Dec. 16. Competitive in two starts prior to that, she drops back down, draws better, and has a shot at odds of 6-1 or higher.
2nd pick: #8 (Trudeau) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, home bred raced evenly when debuting here against tougher in a 4.5 furlong sprint on a sloppy surface June 7. On the sidelines since, she runs off a private trainer change to Dave Fawkes (18% with new arrivals). New barn drops her way down in class and switches her to the turf. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Lil Bay Corvette) (8-1) - Filly was bumped early then raced evenly here debuting at this price tag in a dirt sprint Dec. 16. It was a useful first attempt and I like the fact that they bring her back quickly and move her to the infield.
