Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LA COLONIAL) (3-1) - Lightly raced 3-year-old stretches back out in distance following a pair of third-place finishes racing her in sprints at this tag. She's improved since trainer Keith Nations dropped her down and she has good early speed to utilize.
2nd pick: #10 (Diadema) (4-1) - Another with some early speed, she checked in a pace-setting second here at this level and distance Nov 8. Her post dictates that she'll need to be sent hard at the start. Can factor if she gets an uncontested lead.
3rd pick: #7 (Bid On Line) (12-1) - Jersey bred is lightly-raced and is dropping down to a new low. Three-year-old has flashed some speed several times and is not yet a confirmed multiple loser like most entered.
4th pick: #9 (Shine On Erin) (8-1) - New York shipper takes a big drop and switches from turf to dirt. She has the best overall 'figures' but has rarely threatened in most of her 17 starts. Against this crew she has a fighting chance.
5th pick: #1 (Rose Buzz) (15-1) - Stretch out sprinter has been racing evenly and the inside post can have her involved most of the way at a square price.
