Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LA LUTE) (4-1) - Daughter of 'Midnight Lute' has been on the sidelines since Oct 25. She has a new trainer (Dick Martinez) and he drops her a bit in value, cuts her back in distance, and 4-year-old will be racing on conventional dirt for the first time. She worked a better than average half-mile Dec 20 and can beat these if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Angie's Gold) (3-1) - Filly ran second here at this level going 5.5-furlongs Dec 1, then tired late last out sprinting five furlongs Dec 19. She had a tough outside post that day and was hung wide through-out. Four-year-old stretches out in distance and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Gliding On Air) (15-1) - Speedy filly is racing 3rd back from a 7 1/2 month layoff. She's tired in both return starts, but before going in for the long absence she finished second in two straight here at this level. Price play.
4th pick: #1 (Never Ask Why) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Colonel John' finished second here at this tag Dec 22, then tired last out on a muddy surface. Has the rail, fits with her best, and must be left in the mix.
