Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PHANTOM FLIGHT) (7-2) - Lightly raced daughter of 'Ghostzapper' takes on winners for the first time. 3yo was an impressive maiden winner here going a mile Oct. 24th. It was a career best overall and was her first off a trainer change to Penny Pearce. She has room for upside and has a tactical advantage with her early speed.
2nd pick: #5 (Shades of Indygo) (2-1) - New York bred makes her Philly Park debut after going 20-1-5-7 racing exclusively on the NYRA circuit. She's taking a big drop in class and is stretching back out in her third off a 2 1/2 month layoff. The probable favorite and an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Royal Stage) (4-1) - Speed/stalker is switching from turf to dirt for this attempt. She hasn't raced on the main track since last January when she finished 2nd in an 'off the turf' sprint at Gulfstream Park. Can factor today.
4th pick: #2 (It Girl) (3-1) - Stretch runner stretches out in distance after rallying to check in 4th here at this level going 6.5 furlongs Nov. 14th. It was her first since Sept. 24th and first since arriving from the So. California circuit.
