Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (DOUBLE CLUTCHIN) (8-1) - Fair Grounds shipper broke her maiden there going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 13. In her follow up at this level Jan. 4, she tired while wide to lose by 9 lengths. She just missed here in her only previous local start (Oct. 26) and this longshot has the services of leading rider Tim Thorton.
2nd pick: #1 (Net a Bear) (7-2) - She's been freshened up since breaking her maiden here at this distance Dec. 5. By far a career best, she draws the rail, has plenty of room for upside, and has fine human connections in her corner.
3rd pick: #5 (Attitude Adjustment) (6-1) - Competitive in all four starts, she's been freshened up since getting her maiden win at the Fair Grounds Nov. 18. Claimed that afternoon by Allen Milligan for $12,500, he moves her up in price for this attempt.
4th pick: #2 (Scat At Ms Pat's) (5-2) - She ships from the Fair Grounds where she tired badly in a $90K stakes for fellow state breds Dec. 29 on a sloppy surface. Much sharper in all five previous attempts, stalker is in the mix at a short price.
