Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (HERE COMES LINDA) (7-2) - Filly is one of four making their debuts and has a recent quick half-mile breeze from the gate at Sam Houston. A good small barn (Andrea All) ships him up from there and has leading rider Tim Thornton aboard.
2nd pick: #6 (Southern Galaxy) (5-1) - By far the field's most experienced maiden, she rallied to finish a distant second here at this level and distance Jan. 10. One-run type meets a weak overall group and is dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (She's a Fair Catch) (9-2) - She raced evenly when checking in a distant third Jan. 10. Daughter of 'Daaher' was almost 4 lengths behind Southern Galaxy' that day and will race today with blinkers on in hopes of reversing that decision.
