Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PATRIOTIC DIAMOND) (9-5) - Stakes winner has a strong closing style and is stretching out around two turns for the first time. Competitive in all four starts and continues to train fast. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Just Google Me) (2-1) - Filly was hung out to dry last out after breaking from an outside post and faded turning for home. She had gone 4-2-1-1 prior to that and won a $100K stakes here Sept 19 going 6.5-furlongs. Another that's going longer and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Roo's Valentine) (4-1) - The probable main speed, she moves from turf to dirt after going wire-to-wire at this distance Nov 5 on the Del Mar turf. That was her maiden win and she had been competitive in her first three sprinting on the dirt.
4th pick: #4 (Lucky to Win) (10-1) - Harris home bred moves up in class and out in distance. She rallied to win by a 'neck' going 5.5-furlongs at Del Mar Nov 20 and believe a minor award is her ceiling today.
