Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (ASSEMBLY) (9-2) - Competitive in both starts on the grass at this level, Juddmonte home bred has enough early speed to not let this tough outside post hurt her chances. Working both frequently and above average at Payson Park and I like this filly.
2nd pick: #9 (Grand Folly) (4-1) - Improving grey filly ships from Tampa Bay Downs where she missed by less than a length at this level and distance Nov. 30. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #3 (On Board) (3-1) - Debuting daughter of the ageless 'City Zip' is working steadily at and is from the barn of Todd Pletcher (18% first time out). $170K purchase can factor if ready.
4th pick: #4 (Arabic Style) (20-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since tiring in her grass debut Oct. 26 at Belmont Park. Nicely bred, she probably has more talent than shown so far.
5th pick: #2 (Tizthesound) (8-1) - Experienced filly has gone 8-0-2-2 on the grass and has early speed. In shape, working well, she should be involved from gate-to-wire.
