Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SWEETERTHANCANDY) (5-1) - Home bred is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening up in distance. She was competitive on the Del Mar grass facing tougher Nov 14 and has since come back with a pair of sharp dirt drills at Santa Anita. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Miss Bliss) (3-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Northern Afleet' is racing third back from a seven month break. She missed by a 'neck' in her return start Oct 2 at Santa Anita racing for a $40K tag. Moved up in class in her latest, she tired after chasing a quick pace while racing between horses. She's working fast for this and trainer Mike Puype drops her to a new low.
3rd pick: #4 (Audra) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she's moving from turf to dirt and racing in a claimer for the first time. Grey filly fits on figures and she was competitive in both previous starts on the main track. Must be left in the three horse win mix.
