Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ESCALANTE) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, daughter of 'Bernardini' was bred and runs for the world class Godolphin operation. Competitive in the past on both dirt and 'poly,' she's making her local and grass debut in this spot. She meets a weak field and should beat this group.
2nd pick: #1 (Forestone) (4-1) - Stretch runner is working above average locally for her first race since April 16. She's finished second in hre of four starts on this course and was third in the other. Dangerous if 'Escalante' is sub par.
3rd pick: #8 (Maritalpreservation) (12-1) - Longshot raced evenly here in a $25,000 stakes at this trip Nov. 6. She's back in with fellow maidens and may grab a share at a big price.
