Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PROBABLY GRACE) (7-2) - State bred ships from Hawthorne where she won her debut by 6 lengths going 6 furlongs for a $25,000 claiming price Nov. 9. Given almost eight weeks of rest, the high percentage barn of Larry Rivelli has her conservatively spotted and this daughter of 'Congrats' has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Sue's Monster Baby) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she won her first pair during the Fall, then tired going a mile facing tougher Dec. 14. Trainer Jorge Navarro drops her down and is cutting this filly back in distance. She's an obvious win candidate for a barn that began slowing at this meet but has picked it up considerably the past two weeks.
3rd pick: #6 (Shadday) (4-1) - A maiden winner sprinting for a $25K tag Oct. 30, she finished 9 lengths behind 'Sue's Monster Baby' next out she'll need to step it up for anything more than a minor award.
4th pick: #7 (Golden Note) (10-1) - Well bred filly moves back to the dirt and drops back down after tiring against tougher in a grass sprint Dec 15. A sharp maiden winner on the dirt Nov. 24, she may hold down a share at a big price.
