Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (UNCLE JUNIOR) (3-1) - Filly raced both wide and evenly when beaten 2 lengths here at this trip for a $35K claiming price at this trip Jan. 17. A career best, trainer Jay Servis drops her in class and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Mi Chiquita) (5-1) - Well backed when debuting here in a dirt sprint Feb. 8, she tired badly after pressing a quick pace. Down in class and switched to the the grass, $140K purchase is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Drinks On Maggie) (4-1) - Another with early speed, she's been idle since Dec. 21. She tired to finish third that day racing at this level and distance and is working steadily for her return.
4th pick: #2 (Slightly Tipsy) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' hasn't raced since Oct. 30. Well backed in all three attempts, she's on the grass for the first time and breaks just off the rail. May factor at a big price if ready.
5th pick: #8 (Sol Dat Sugar) (15-1) - Filly shortens up in distance after setting the pace before weakening at this tag going 7.5 furlongs Jan. 24. May get a minor award at a big price, but a win seems to be out of her reach.
