Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (KIM'S STAR) (7-2) - As consistent as they come, mare has gone 4-2-1-1 at this meet after coming from Prairie Meadows in late August. Her overall record on the dirt is an outstanding 33-11-7-3 and speed/stalker is 6 for 19 at this distance. In shape, the level is fine, and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Dancinanimaux) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, she's won her last two dirt sprints here in wire-to-wire fashion. Three-year-old broke her maiden here at this trip Oct 3. Following an even effort in a grass sprint, she went gate-to-wire Nov 4 in an entry-level allowance at this distance. She has the rail, is in a great barn (Bret Calhoun), and has plenty of room for upside.
3rd pick: #9 (Fictionality) (5-2) - Even-paced type hasn't won since Sept 18 of 2014. However, most of her starts have been competitive and stalker draws outside of the speed types. Working well, she's racing off a pair of layoffs.
4th pick: #2 (Okie's Princess) (15-1) - Long shot moves up in class in her first off a Clint Stuart re-claim. Mare is 4 for 13 locally and two of those wins have come at this distance. Fits with her best and she has a shot at a big price.
