Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (PANDANCER) (7-2) - Filly enters in shape and is racing first off a claim. She's moving up a bit in class, draws a nice outside post, and her stretch running style is complimented by this seven-furlong distance.
2nd pick: #11 (Allied Kid) (5-1) - Lightly raced speed/stalker moves out in the gate and is trying this longer trip for the first time. Price play finished 2nd to 'Pandancer' back on July 20, and she's improved since then. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Make Mo Money) (3-1) - Pa-bred 'stumbled' at the start last out before rallying to finish 4th. A good effort it left her three lengths behind 'Pandancer.' 4yo has been competitive in one of two at this distance and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Purely a Princess) (20-1) - Longshot has no early speed, but is racing herself back into shape following her return from a four-month layoff in early November. She would love a fast and/or contested pace to hold her late running style out.
5th pick: #7 (Riverness) (20-1) - Another longshot that has no early speed. Mare rallied to finish 4th here last out at this level and distance Nov. 10th. 5yo has been competitive at this distance in the past and is capable of getting a share at a big price.
