Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MAD MANGO) (7-2) - Bet down to favoritism when debuting here at this $20K tag Dec. 4th, she chased and held down the place spot. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill, he brings her back at the claimed level. He had her work a bullet half-mile Dec. 13th, and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Zeekid) (5-1) - Filly has been on the sidelines since May 22. She finished 2nd that day at Santa Anita racing for this $20K tag. Working nicely, and trainer Jorge Periban has his 'go to' rider (Edwin Maldonado) aboard.
3rd pick: #8 (Daphne's Day) (9-2) - Grey filly is racing third back off an 11-month layoff. She was only a length behind 'Mad Mango' last out and earned a career best 'figure' that afternoon. Must be left in the three-horse, win mix.
4th pick: #7 (Sarah Bell) (8-1) - Minor player in here, she finished 3rd in last out at Del Mar racing at this tag. Even paced type may grab a minor award at a square price.
