Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SLY HUMOR) (7-2) - Improving filly chased and gamely held down the place spot racing here for a $30K price tag Dec. 31. It was a career best and was her first in a claimer. Can take this with a repeat of that fine effort.
2nd pick: #5 (Aura Rose) (4-1) - On the sidelines since Nov. 25, she's dropping to a new low. Competitive in both starts facing higher priced claimers, speed/stalker is a win candidate with Bejarano aboard.
3rd pick: #9 (Singlefoareason) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Shackleford' has early speed and is dropping down into the claiming ranks for the first time. She's tired in all three attempts facing tougher and should contend today on the class reduction.
4th pick: #11 (Munny Spunt) (12-1) - Away since Nov. 3, she's another dropping into claimers for the first time. $125K purchase worked a bullet five furlongs here Dec. 25, and that may suggest a competitive effort as a big price could be coming.
