Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (MONEY NEVER SLEEPS) (7-2) - The filly was entered for the 'main track only,' and her owners got their wish. She finished 2nd here in an 'off the turf' contest Dec. 12, and this stalker draws a fine outside post out of the mile chute. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #10 (Philly Special) (4-1) - From the Pletcher barn, this $300K daughter of 'Blame' rallied to finish 3rd at this trip facing tougher on the grass Jan. 19. He drops her into a claimer, a very strong 35% move by the trainer, and he's adding blinkers. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Our Fantasy) (3-1) - She's been competitive in all four starts, including a pair like today that were taken 'off the turf.' Filly has shown a flexible style and must be left in the mix.
