Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TO THE FLAG) (5-2) - Mare ships in from Philly Park where she's been in career best form. Much improved since being claimed by Marc Zulueta Oct. 17th. Stalker is at the right level and distance and can make her Laurel debut a winning one.
2nd pick: #9 (Dreamboat Annie) (3-1) - New York shipper was a state bred stakes winner at Belmont last June. She's racing back into shape following a three-month layoff and is an obvious threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Fortutious) (6-1) - Philly invader hails from the leading trainer there (Ramon Preciado). She finished a close up 4th there at this level going 8.5 furlongs Dec. 19th in her first off a seven-week freshening. Capable sprinting, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #11 (Bustin to Win) (10-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, filly has won two of her three starts. Dangerous with a clean break, and there's not a lot of other speed signed on. Price play.
