Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BRANDY'S GIRL) (8-1) - Price play has a speed/stalking style and is moving p in class for her second back from almost a five-month layoff. She just missed here at this distance in her return Jan. 4 and has a good shot at long odds.
2nd pick: #11 (Nite Delite) (5-1) - Mare has a fine record at this trip on the grass (7-3-3-0). Very fast from the gate, she missed by a 'neck' in a $75K stakes Dec. 17 at Tampa Bay Downs. Steady performer is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #12 (Everything Lovely) (9-2) - Another with early speed, she had traffic issues last out at Tampa while finishing 3rd, two lengths in back of 'Nite Delite.' Hard hitter is in shape and has Javier Castellano aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #9 (Spectacular Me) (6-1) - Strong finisher has been sharp here in both starts at this meet. Mare won a $100K stakes Dec. 3, then finished 2nd facing weaker Jan. 1. A stretch factor if she avoids any traffic in this large field.
