Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FULL SWING) (3-1) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. She's finished second in three of her four starts and has a 'ton of trouble' in her only sub-par outing. She has the rail, a speed/stalking style, drops in class, and Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #5 (Stefanie On Fleek) (4-1) - The second of the Pletcher fillies, she raced wide before weakening late when debuting Nov 30 at Aqueduct facing tougher. Barn wins at a 29% rate second time out, and has won with 20-of-40 (50%) taking this drop since the beginning of 2018. An obvious contender.

3rd pick: #7 (Folly) (6-1) - A home-bred daughter of 'Super Saver', she was beaten only 2 lengths here at this level Dec. 12. Filly was bumped hard causing her rider to lose an iron late, so the effort was fine under the circumstances.

4th pick: #10 (Italian Summer) (10-1) - One of two from the Casse barn and the pair race as separate betting interests. This stalker had some traffic issues when beaten 3 lengths here at this tag Dec. 27 and longshot has a shot at a big price with a 'clean' journey.
