Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (KEEPER OF THE STARS) (3-1) - She's moving back in with fellow 3yos after tiring while wide facing older rivals in an 11 furlong G3 contest at Del Mar Nov. 30. A winner of her prior pair, grey daughter of 'Midnight Lute' has a speed/stalking style, has the rail, and won a G3 here at this distance Oct 26.

2nd pick: #6 (Lucky Peridot) (7-2) - Stalker has been freshene up since Oct. 3 when she rallied to finish rd here facing older optional $62K claimers. She's yet to win on the grass, but has been competitive in four of five, is clearly improving, and it's noted that trainer Peter Miller has Javier Castellano take the catch ride.

3rd pick: #4 (Mischiffie) (5-1) - One of a pair of European imports, this Irish bred is stretching out in distance following a pair of sharp grass sprints. One-run type is consistent and is making her first start ever facing stakes competition. In the mix.

4th pick: #3 (Bodhicitta) (8-1) - Englisg bred fily has been freshened up since a sharp maiden win here at this distance Oct. 20. Clearly improving, strong finisher is working fast and think she'll be competitive at a square price despite moving way up in class.
