Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HALO AHEAD) (5-2) - Freshened up since Nov. 23, stretch runner rallied to miss by just under a length that afternoon. Competitive in five straight, daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' is working above average and there's plenty of speed visible that should aid her late run.
2nd pick: #5 (Paddy Jean) (7-2) - Grey filly has a flexible style and has gone 4-0-3-1 since coming off a 5.5 month layoff Aug. 17. The level and distance are fine and she's a serious player in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Tell Me More) (6-1) - Away from action since June 14, 4-year-old filly by 'Quality Road' races off a private trainer change to Peter Miller. Stalker has a fine series of works showing and Miller has her trying the grass for the first time. She can factor at a square price if ready of the seven month layoff.
4th pick: #2 (Arrowsphere) (3-1) - Speedy filly has been on the sidelines since Oct. 22. She missed by just under a length here that afternoon racing at this level and distance. Competitive in five of six on the grass, she should be involved from gate-to-wire.
5th pick: #3 (Eternal Endeavour) (8-1) - Lightly-raced English import drops into a claimer for the first time. Even-paced type has finished within range in both No. American starts facing tougher and has plenty of room for upside.
