Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ONE UPPER) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' drops down after almost a 2.5 month freshening. She has early speed and has been competitive in two straight dirt sprints facing tougher going longer. Working fast, along with the drop she's cutting back from 6.5 furlongs to 5/8ths.
2nd pick: #6 (Desired Edge) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, she finished a pace chasing 3rd here facing tougher going 6 furlongs Oct 5. A career best, it was her first since Aug 19, first in a claimer, and 3yo worked fast here Oct 26. A very strong win candidate and I could have easily made her the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Social Etiquette) (7-2) - Another taking the same drop as both 'One Upper' and 'Desired Edge', she's shortening up while moving from grass to dirt. In range in three straight on the turf facing tougher, she's a stretch threat from her ground saving post.
4th pick: #9 (Z Z Tiger) (9-2) - This is start # 10 and she's taking the biggest drop of all entered. Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in 2 of 4 at this distance facing tougher and must be left in the mix.
