Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (HAREM HONEY) (9-2) - Filly has a aped/stalking style and is cutting back a bit in distance. She'd finished within range in three straight and can take this on the front end at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Ready It) (3-1) - Stretch runner broke her maiden here at this distance Dec 4 when she rallied strongly to prevail by a 'neck.' In her follow-up start racing at this level, she again put in a furious late rally to check in second. Win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (Ebony Bird) (2-1) - Stalker split 'Harem Honey' and 'Ready It' last out. It was her third straight competitive race since switching from grass to dirt in early November. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Ski Bare) (8-1) - Filly looks like a minor player today. She has no early speed and doesn't have the same closing kick of either 'Ready It' or 'Ebony Bird.' That said, she's nearing her best for veteran Howard Wolfendale.
