Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (NONNA MADELINE) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly from the barn of Todd Pletcher ships from Gulfstream where she finished 3rd and 4th in a pair of 'Graded' stakes going seven furlongs. Speed/stalker is stretching out around two turns for the first time and gets a timid vote in a contest where you should make sure to box your wagers.
2nd pick: #5 (Letruska) (7-2) - Filly won her first seven starts, all on the dirt. The first six came racing at Mexico City before she won an $85,000 stakes Dec. 8 at Gulfstream going 10 furlongs on Caribbean Invitational Day. 4yo tried the grass there Dec. 28, but tired badly after setting the pace to finish last of 13. On the sidelines since, she's back on the dirt and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Seeds of Time) (12-1) - Consistent mare has gone 17-5-4-4 on the dirt and is 3-1-0-1 locally. She fits on figures, is 5-2-0-2 at this distance, and the 5yo is capable of factoring at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (Glamorized) (15-1) - Mare has chased the pace and weakened to finish 3rd and 4th in both starts at this meet. Each has come at this level and distance, and she may hold down a share at a big price with a bit of improvement.
