Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (THREE KARYOTS) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, this 3yo moves up just a bit after winning two of her last three here sprinting for a $3,200 tag. Very competitive in five straight appearances, I think she'll tough to catch in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Propeppy) (7-2) - Filly missed by a 'neck' here at this tag and trip Nov. 28, and that narrow defeat prevented her from carrying a three-race winning streak into this afternoon's finale. Speed/stalker is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Power of Nine) (3-1) - Old timer will be 11yrs old on New Year's Day. She's finished 1st or 2nd in 26 of 44 starts during her long career and drops down to today's $4K tag for the first time. Stretch runner will be making up ground late, and a fast and/or contested pace would help her prospects out.
4th pick: #1 (Cattering) (8-1) - This longshot has the rail, a speed/stalking style, and has been competitive in three of her last four local sprints. 4yo was less than a length behind 'Propeppy' Nov. 28 and will be a much bigger price that that rival.
