Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MISS MIAMI) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly has won three straight facing weaker with a pair of those victories coming at this trip on the grass. Latest came here Dec. 6 when she earned a career best figure and by far the best of any entered last out. The 4yo has a stalking style, a fine maintenance half-mile breeze Dec 27, and has plenty of room for upside.
2nd pick: #5 (Awsum Roar) (6-1) - Mare has won 8-of-17 overall on the grass, is 7-for-12 at this distance on this course. 6yo moves up in class after defeating $16K claimers Dec. 11, but her consistency makes her a threat with Luis Saez staying aboard.
3rd pick: #4 (Dreams Are Made) (3-1) - This 4yo daughter of 'Tapit' sold for $500,000 as a yearling back in Sept. of 2017. Very lightly raced, she's been on the sidelines since rallying to break her maiden going 5.5 furlongs July 28 at Ellis Park. Training fast at the Palm Meadows Center, a fast/and or contested pace would help her chances out.
4th pick: #8 (Lila Ruth) (15-1) - Longshot tired at this level going 5.5 furlongs Nov. 10 at Churchill Downs. She's working fast, draws well, and has been at her best from a stalking spot. Think she's capable of getting a minor award at a big price.
