Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (KOTTONCANDY KISSES) (2-1) - She's dropping in price after a pair of close up finishes facing toughe. Daughter of 'Afleet Alex' is racing third back from a 4 month layoff and she gets top billing.
2nd pick: #5 (Adverse Possession) (8-1) - A lightly raced 3yo by 'Toccet', she missed by a length here at this level Oct. 12, then tired after breaking slowly in her follow up on a muddy surface Oct. 30. She should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #7 (Elliebel) (9-2) - She's been competitive in all three starts at this level without really threatening to win. Even paced type is capable of getting a share with her normal effort.
4th pick: #8 (Agent Bishop) (8-1) - Home bred by 'Afleet Alex' hasn't shown much but she's taking the big drop into claimers in her first since Sept. 5. 4yo has received betting support several times and should show whatever she has in this spot.
5th pick: #14 (Special Sky) (20-1) - Longshot has early speed and a good post at this trip to use it from. Home bred may hold down a share at a huge price.
