Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BIRD TRAFFIC) (5-1) - Price play raced evenly in a sprint at Keeneland for a $30K tag on a sloppy surface Oct 27. Trainer Ian Wilkes brings her back in three weeks and is stretching her out in distance. She has the rail and gets a slight edge in a contest where you should box your bets.

2nd pick: #1a (Tschudi's Girl) (6-1) - Part of an entry with #1 'Impulsive', she's dropping down in class while stretching out from 6 furlongs to a 1 1/16th miles. Filly has shown some ability in both sprints and has a shot at a square price.

3rd pick: #6 (Carolina Beach) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, she enters odd a distant 3rd place finish Oct 19 at Keeneland sprinting for a $75K tag. It was her first since debuting Aug 26 at Saratoga and she's an obvious win candidate as she drops down to run for a $50,000 claiming price.

4th pick: #7 (Armony's Angel) (3-1) - Competitive in her first pair, filly has regressed in three starts since then. All came facing tougher and she's dropping into a claimer for the first time. A clear threat, but her outside post may lead to a wide trip.
