Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (SUMMER STORM) (5-2) - With the late scratch of #4 'Riesling,' this filly is the main speed of those that have raced. Freshened up since Sept. 28, she's finished third in three of four and lost her rider at the break in the other. The 3yo breezed a near bullet half-mile here Nov. 8 and will be tough to catch.

2nd pick: #6 (Hoptown Honey) (9-2) - Improving filly has finished second in two of her last three and did so here at this level going 6.5 furlongs Sept. 14. She earned a career-best figure at Keeneland Oct. 19 when checking in second of 12 and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Flat Awesome Jenny) (5-1) - She raced erratically down the stretch when checking in fourth of nine, beaten 7 lengths debuting Oct. 5 at Keeneland. Capable barn (Mike Tomlinson) has breezed her twice since Oct. 28 and she's a stretch threat with normal second out improvement.

4th pick: #9 (Morning Belle) (12-1) - Away since March 18 at Oaklawn Park, she displayed early speed in three of four starts. Working steadily locally, $50K purchase has breezed six times since Oct. 4 and is dangerous at a big price if ready.
