Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DON'T MAKE FUN) (9-2) - This filly rallied to finish a close up 4th when debuting here at this level and distance Dec. 23. Trainer Saffie Joseph (23% second time out) brings her back quickly, and she can win this with a normal second out improvement.
2nd pick: #5 (Cookie Cove) (15-1) - This longshot tired when debuting in a dirt sprint at Gulfstream Park West Nov. 10. That contest had a very strong field, and this home bred moves to the turf, doing so with blinkers on. She worked fast here Dec. 24, and I think she'll be competitive today at a big price.
3rd pick: #3 (Ready to Tango) (5-2) - One of five making their debuts, this daughter of 'More Than Ready' is in the Pletcher barn (22% first out), and he's had her breeze a half-dozen times at the Palm Beach Downs Center since Dec. 2. He has Javier Castellano aboard today, and this $150K purchase is dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #2 (Miahsolomiah) (7-2) - Another filly making her first start, she's working fast, breaks just off the rail, and is from the barn of leading trainer Jorge Navarro.
