Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MYBIGITALIANFRIEND) (8-5) - A lightly raced 4yo by 'Union Rags', she's won two in a row here since coming off a 5-month layoff and joining the barn of Jay Servis. She's very fast from the gate and I think another win is probable despite the fact she's moving up in class.
2nd pick: #3 (Mo Town Kat) (8-1) - Freshened up since Dec. 16, the veteran mare is racing first off a claim by leading trainer Jorge Navarro. He wins at a 21% rate off the transaction and this 6yo is working fast for this attempt. Daughter of 'Cowtown Cat' has a fine record at this distance 16-4-4-4 and has a shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Day by Day) (7-2) - She won here going 6 furlongs for a $25K tag Jan. 1 and that ran her local record to 7-2-3-1. Claimed that day by Liz Nobles, she has her nicely spotted and this mare is dangerous if she holds her recent form.
4th pick: #4 (Shackleford County) (6-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, she drops in class after a solid third place finish here in a first-level allowance Jan. 18. She has the ability, room for upside, and must be left in the mix.
