Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (DADDY'S MELODY) (5-2) - Daughter of 'Scat Daddy' is switching from grass to dirt, drops in class, shortens up in distance, and has blinkers added for her first race since Oct 3. $150K purchase meets a very weak field and can beat these with a smart ride from her outside post.
2nd pick: #8 (Swingin It) (3-1) - Debuting filly is from the Sadler barn 16% first out in 2018-19 and has been in steady training here since late October. Home bred need not be anything special to factor first out against this group.
3rd pick: #7 (Cali Rocks) (6-1) - Locally based mare has early speed and finished 2nd here at this tag & trip Sep 15. 5yo has been facing males since in local 870 yd mixed bred contests and is capable of factoring.
4th pick: #2 (Osteria) (7-2) - Away since late July, she hasn't shown much in three starts, but is from a capable barn (Cliff Sise Jr) and she may get a share with some improvement.
