Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HERE'S THE CALL) (5-2) - Speedy home-bred just failed to hang on at Penn National Nov. 19th. State-bred drops back down a bit, and a repeat of her latest will make her tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #8 (California Wildcat) (4-1) - Much improved of late, Cal-bred was an easy wire-to-wire, 10-length winner here at this tag Nov. 27th. She cleared the 2l condition that day and is a major threat if the effort is repeatable.
3rd pick: #10 (Mad Mango) (8-1) - Longshot is racing second off a Mario Serey claim. 4yo filly has a good closing kick and was sharp in her only previous race on an off track. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #3 (Surfside Chic) (6-1) - Competitive in four straight here, stretch runner should factor again in this spot. Mare needs to do a bit better in the last furlong for anything more than a minor award.
