Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MISS ATHENA) (9-5) - The probable favorite, daughter of 'City Zip' ships from Delaware Park where she finished a pace-setting second when debuting there at this level Oct 5. She's worked five times at Aqueduct since then and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (My Duchess Kate) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Flower Alley' races first off a Ramon Preciado claim (29%) and almost a seven-week freshening (34%). She's been competitive in both dirt starts going longer and this seven furlong trip isn't a problem.
3rd pick: #1 (Benny's Diamond) (9-2) - Filly by the fleet 'Benny the Bull' is moving up in class in her first following a Marc Zulueta claim (28%). She has some early speed, breaks from the rail, and she finished second at Ellis Park in her only previous try at this distance.
4th pick: #7 (Lucky Meeting) (6-1) - Price play has raced evenly in her first pair here and trainer Lou Linder Jr. stretches her out in distance. Filly by 'Lookin At Lucky' draws a nice outside post and meets a weak field for the level.
