Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (MAMBO DANCER) (7-2) - The field's only 'main track only,' she's on the dirt for the first time here, and her new trainer (Jorge Delgado) is adding blinkers. One run type is well bred, draws a good post, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Berning Repent) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's switching to the dirt following three straight 2nd place finishes at this $20K tag on the grass. Her main track form is fine, and this 4yo by 'Bernardini' is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Miss Eliphant) (7-2) - On the sidelines since Nov. 8, she missed by a 'nose' that day going a mile at Laurel for a $25K tag in an 'off the turf' contest. She fits, draws a fine post, and veteran Mary Eppler has Jose Ortiz aboard.
4th pick: #11 (Midnight Buffet) (12-1) - Longshot has improved a great deal in her last pair since coming off a five-month layoff and a switch to the barn of Kate O'Connell. A daughter of 'Big Brown,' this 4yo filly may grab a share at a big price.
