Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BERNING REPENT) (3-1) - Home bred by 'Bernardini' has finished second in both starts since dropping down to this $20K claiming price. Stalking type can win this with just a small step forward.
2nd pick: #8 (Venezuelan Spirit) (7-2) - Filly has been on the sidelines since Oct. 17 when she 'won' for a $10K tag but was disqualified and placed second. One-run type has worked four times since then and is a threat despite doubling up in price.
3rd pick: #6 (Saucy Teen) (8-1) - This very lightly-raced Generazio home bred is stretching out in distance after an even third-place finish going 5 furlongs for a $16K price tag Oct. 18. She has early speed, is working steadily, and 3yo has plenty of room for upside.
4th pick: #1 (Rubelite) (6-1) - This daughter of 'More Than Ready' is dropping to a new low for her first race in four months. She has the rail, some early speed, and runs off a private training change to veteran Kate O'Connell at 11 of 48 (23%) with new arrivals to her barn.
