Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (BIG WAVE BETTY) (5-2) - Speedy filly is taking on winners for the first time. She went wire-to-wire here at this trip racing for a $5,000 tag Nov. 3rd. By far a career best, she's nicely spotted by trainer Tony Klenakis following a six-week freshening.
2nd pick: #8 (Red Spring) (6-1) - Lightly raced 4yo rallied to check in 2nd here at this level Nov. 9th. In her follow up start Nov. 23rd, she finished a very 'troubled' 4th. 4yo had serious traffic issues twice that day and is a win threat with a clean journey.
3rd pick: #1 (Silver Icing) (9-2) - Lightly raced, she's another facing winners for the first time. Improving grey 3yo was a winner here going 5.5 furlongs for a $5K tag Dec. 1st. A career best, she's conservatively spotted, and breaks from the rail.
4th pick: #3 (Under Cover Queen) (8-1) - On the sidelines since early May, her entire career has been spent here. Speed/stalker fits if ready and has been in steady training locally since late October.
5th pick: #5 (Street Candy) (5-1) - Much improved since returning from a 70-day break Oct. 17th. That, and a new trainer (Brent Elston) has her headed in the right direction.
