Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (GRACIE JEAN) (2-1) - She's been competitive in three of her last four starts racing at this level. Stalker tired last out going an additional furlong. Good barn brings her back in 10-days and shortens her up an 1/8th of a mile. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Under Cover Queen) (4-1) - Speedy sort chased and held down the place spot going five furlongs at this level Dec 14. It was her first start since May 5 when she was improving here at that time. Can factor with normal 2nd back improvement.
3rd pick: #7 (Mutually Exclusive) (7-2) - Mare is cutting back in distance after a troubled and even effort here at this level going a mile Dec 6. She has no early speed, but should be finishing fast in this spot.
4th pick: #6 (Jill's Joy) (10-1) - Long shot has early speed and has been freshened up since Nov 9. Unreliable sort fits with her best and has a shot at a square price if that's the case.
