Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MOON KITTY) (5-2) - She was a sharp winner at Los Alamitos going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 7 when trainer Peter Miller dropped her down into a claimer. Filly has won here in the past and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Lady Ninja) (7-2) - Lightly-raced filly has gone 3-2-0-1 in dirt sprints and enters off a 3rd place finish at Los Aamitos facing tougher Dec 1. 4yo runs third back off a 2.5 month break and she draws a ground saving post. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Sly Humor) (3-1) - Consistent speed/stalker set a pressured pace before weakening to finish 2nd, 3.5 lengths in back of 'Moon Kitty' Dec 7. She has a fine local record 7-3-2-1 and draws outside of the other speed. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Go On Mary) (4-1) - Freshened up since Nov 18, she won a rather weak starter-allowance that afternoon at Del Mar. Fits with her best and it's a plus that Flavien Prat stays aboard.
