Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FOREVER CHANGED) (5-2) - Filly is one of three entered that broke their maidens last out. She did so here going 6 furlongs Nov. 8 and won by almost 4 lengths. Only her second start, it was her first since finishing second Sept. 20 at Belmont. Heavily bet (4-5) in her win, she was racing with Lasix administered that afternoon. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Short Pour) (2-1) - Freshened up since Oct. 20, she chased and tired going a mile in a $250K stakes for fellow state breds that afternoon. It was her first on the dirt after a pair of sharp efforts sprinting on the grass. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Three Birds) (3-1) - One of two fillies that have made eight starts, strong finisher rallied from far back to finish third here at this distance facing $50K 'open' starter-allowance company Nov. 8. The type that can 'run all day,' she's a stretch threat in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Tradeable) (9-2) - Another who likes to come from behind daughter of 'Exchange Rate' is racing on the dirt for the first time. She's dropping in class, stretching out in distance, and is back in with state breds following a pair facing much tougher 'open' company.
