Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (ARMONY'S ANGEL) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Ken McPeek, and the pair race uncoupled. This filly raced evenly to finish 4th here after a poor break going seven furlongs facing tougher Dec. 16. Down in price and stretching back out to a mile, I like her chances here.
2nd pick: #1 (Papa's Girl) (3-1) - The second of the McPeek trained fillies, she ran evenly when debuting in a Churchill dirt sprint for a $30K tag Nov. 23. She's dropping down, stretching out, and one of the trainer's favorite riders, Robbie Albarado, is aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Rosepath) (5-2) - Even paced in her first pair facing tougher, she's dropping into a claimer and gets a big rider upgrade to Tyler Gaffalione. Capable barn (Chad Summers) has her spotted where she's a major player.
4th pick: #5 (My Sebastiana) (15-1) - Longshot raced evenly sprinting here Dec. 2. Filly was bumped at the break and had a wide trip following that incident. She's stretching out in distance and may grab a share at a big price.
