Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (BRATTATA) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. Competitive in all four starts last year on the NYRA circuit, she races today off a two-month freshening. One run type draws a tough outside post, so make sure you box your exactas with her.
2nd pick: #5 (Night Owl) (7-2) - The second of the fillies from trainer Chad Brown, she had a wide trip when finishing 4th in her "well bet" debut Oct. 8 at Belmont Park. Working steadily at Palm Meadows, she's an obvious threat if ready off the four-month vacation.
3rd pick: #4 (Great Reward) (20-1) - Longshot is working above average for her second start. She was never involved after a poor break when debuting in an Aqueduct dirt sprint Nov. 24, and is switching to the turf here while stretching out in distance. Bred to do both, trainer Jimmy Jerkens adds blinkers, lasix, and has Javier Castellano aboard this filly.
4th pick: #3 (Park Lane) (6-1) - Stronach home bred rallied to finish 4th when debuting on the Woodbine all weather surface Dec. 9. Daughter of 'Ghostzapper' is bred for the grass and enters off a pair of well-above average half-mile local breezes.
