Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CRISPY CREED) (8-1) - This longshot rallied to finish third when debuting here in a 5-furlong sprint at this level Nov. 17. However, in her follow up two weeks later, she was away slowly and raced evenly while never involved. Freshened up since that Dec. 1 contest, $85,000 daughter of the speedy 'Jimmy Creed' has been bet in both attempts and has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Mia O Maya) (5-1) - Daughter of the talented sprinter 'Custom for Carlos' rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Dec. 29. This filly is back on a quick turnaround and trainer Sam Breaux has leading rider Tim Thornton aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #8 (Flash Hands) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she's finished second in four of her last five starts, each at this level and has been sharp in all three local attempts. One-run type is an obvious contender at a short price.
4th pick: #4 (No Big Ting) (6-1) - Well bred ('Fusaichi Pegasus') and from a good barn (Bret Calhoun), she was was just under 2 lengths in back of 'Mia O Maya' last out and is capable of impacting with a bit of improvement.
