Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SUGAR REEF) (2-1) - Lightly raced filly has been on the sidelines since Aug. 3. She has a new trainer (Gary Contessa), and he has her racing on the dirt for the first time. $250,000 purchase meets a weak, small field and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Hey Lady) (3-1) - Speedy sort has been competitive in two straight here at this level. If she gets an easy, early lead this 4yo could go wire-to-wire in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Pirouette) (6-1) - Away slowly here in a sprint Jan. 12, she tired badly while never involved. It was her first race in eight months, and she's worked three times since. $130K purchase has the rail, stretches out in distance, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
