Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SANCTIFICA) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 6-year-old ships in from Tampa Bay Downs where she ran both wide and evenly there in a $75K stakes at this distance Dec. 17. It was her first start since late August at Saratoga and I like the fact hat her connections bring her back quickly for this attempt.
2nd pick: #8 (Brandy's Girl) (9-2) - Speedy sort is working fast locally for her first race since Aug. 14 at Monmouth. A stakes winner sprinting on the grass, she's won herein the past and is a win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (Smoke Signals) (5-1) - Mare tired at Tampa Bay Nov. 26, but had finished a closeup third in a a G3 turf sprint at Keeneland in her previous start (Oct 14). Stretch runner can factor if able to avoid any traffic issues in this large field.
4th pick: #10 (Pretty Perfection) (15-1) - Longshot rallied to finish a 1/2 length in front of 'Sanctifica' Dec. 17 at Tampa Bay. She has enough early speed to not let this outside post hurt her chances and can factor at a big price.
