Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (GRACE H) (5-1) - She's one of two fillies making their debuts in this spot. Home bred by 'Mineshaft' has been in steady training at the Fair Hill Training Center in western Maryland. The majority of the drills are above average and is from a barn (Mike Trombetta) that not long ago did a great job with first-time-starters.
2nd pick: #1 (Kandy Andy) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she finished 2nd here at this level and distance Nov. 15th. Filly had a tough outside post and showed good early speed. Home bred is from the Ramon Preciado barn and moves from an outside post to the rail. Obvious contender.
3rd pick: #9 (Irish Reward) (6-1) - She raced both wide and evenly when debuting in the same last race as 'Kandy Andy.' Filly was less than a length behind that rival at the finish and should improve enough second out to be a win candidate.
4th pick: #3 (O Aubrey) (9-2) - Away slowly when debuting here Nov. 15th, she rushed up into the pace picture and held to finish a clear 2nd to a 'much the best' winner. From a good barn (Keith Nations) and a threat with a better break.
