Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CHIEF INCA) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly is shortening up in distance while dropping into a claimer for the first time. She tired last out going a mile facing tougher and should factor at a square price this evening with the changes.
2nd pick: #3 (Miss Bristles) (7-2) - Home bred has been freshened up since finishing an even third here at this tag and trip on a muddy surface Dec. 31. In a good barn (Joe Duhon) and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Vivi's Magic) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she finished second here Dec. 31 and was in front of 'Miss Bristles' that day. Only her second start, Texas bred can factor, but a short price.
4th pick: #1 (Shes the Girl) (20-1) - Longshot has the rail and just a bit of early speed. From a good barn (Shane Wilson), she may hold down a minor award at a very big price.
