Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DREAMINGOFMERMAIDS) (3-1) - Well bred 4yo stretches out in distance after missing by a 1/2 length here at this level going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 27. It was her first following a Tamara Levy claim and this stalkers lone win came at this 6.5 furlong trip Oct. 13. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Kaylie's Girl) (7-2) - This speedy state-bred has been competitive in four of her last five and enters off a second-place finish at this level going 6 furlongs Jan. 10. She draws the rail and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #6 (Scorched Earth) (5-1) - A lightly raced mare, she raced evenly when finishing third here at this level going 6 furlongs Dec. 13. It was her first race since Oct. 27 and she's capable of winning this with her best.
4th pick: #7 (Hannah Catherine) (6-1) - One-run type is dropping in price, switching from turf to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Capable on the dirt, she fits on figures and should be making up ground late. A fast and/or contested pace would help her chances out.
