Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (LA CHAUFFEUR) (5-2) - Grey filly is racing third back following a three-month break, is dropping to a new low, is switching from dirt to grass, and is stretching back out in distance. This $170K daughter of 'Cairo Prince' has finished 2nd in two straight sprinting on the dirt for a $40,000 claiming price in her return pair, has run well here on the turf facing tougher in the past, and gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #5 (Truly) (9-2) - A lightly raced 3yo by 'Will Take Charge,' she's missed by a 'head' in two straight facing a bit weaker. Filly has come off an 8.5-month layoff a much better horse and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Gambla) (6-1) - She showed fine early speed last out and held until the late stages after setting a quick and pressured pace here going 8.5 furlongs at this level Dec. 6. It was her first off a Dave Fawkes claim, and he has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard for this attempt. Daughter of 'Bellamy Road' is in the win mix at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (She Fled the Scene) (3-1) - Even paced type drops to a new low after being competitive in all nine starts on the grass facing tougher. She draws a ground saving post today, is in shape, fits on figures, and is capable if able to finish a bit stronger.
