Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (KERA KERA) (9-5) - Speed/stalker is moving frm grass to dirt and shortens back up in distance. Iowa bred is 9-4-3-1 on the main track here and is 13-5-1-2 at this distance overall on the dirt. In shape, working fast, and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Hell On Heels) (2-1) - Dangerous speedster ships back from Del Mar where she finished an excellent second facing tougher in a grass sprint Nov. 25. She had won her previous dirt sprint here Nov 6 and enters in career best form. An obvious win candidate in this small field.
3rd pick: #6 (Queen Kate) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Val Lund and the pair race uncoupled. No speed type almost makes a late charge and has gone 19-3-5-5 locally. Veteran mare rallied to finish second in a $30K stakes at this distance Oct. 22 and must be left in the mix.
