Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (LADYGOGENTLY) (5-1) - She showed some ability in her first pair but tired last out while racing wide on a sloppy track at the Fair Grounds Dec. 31. Trainer Tom Lee removes her blinkers, the filly has a ground-saving post, and think she has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Argument Won) (7-2) - A Fair Grounds invader, she tired last out while wide after being bumped at the break going a mile Dec. 21. In a winning barn (Pat Devereux), and he has Diego Saenz abord in this filly's local debut.
3rd pick: #9 (Supersport Sally) (3-1) - A home-bred filly, she has good early speed and runs off a private trainer change to Bev Burress ( a 20% winning angle). She finished second here at this level Dec. 12, but tired to check in fourth in her follow up Jan. 10. Think she'll be involved every step.
4th pick: #1 (Speedpoint) (4-1) - Bred/owned/and trained by Howard Romero, filly finished a pace-pressing second here at this level and distance Jan. 4. She moves from an outside post to the rail and is an obvious contender.
