Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HENNESSY STORM) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly is moving from dirt to turf and stretching out in distance, both for the first time. She ran evenly here in a dirt sprint at this level Oct. 25th, and trainer Molly Pearson has good stats in the relevant categories for this attempt.
2nd pick: #9 (Rich Girl) (7-2) - Filly has early speed and set the pace before tiring here at this level and distance Nov. 7th. It was her first for trainer Wade Rarick and first since coming here from California. A threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #8 (Something Heavenly) (8-1) - On the sidelines since Sept. 6th, she's moving up in class, stretching out in distance, and racing on the grass for the first time. She's bred for the turf and runs first off a trainer change to Manny Ortiz (21% with new arrivals).
4th pick: #2 (Moon Creek) (8-1) - One of three making their debuts, he's training nicely, and is by grass champ 'Artie Schiller.' In a good first out barn (Dru Hall, 35%), and he has veteran Scott Stevens aboard.
