Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TAKEITEASYPLEASE) (7-2) - Speed/stalker enters in shape, and last out at Los Alamitos, Dec. 4th, she finished second at this level going 5.5 furlongs. She's stretching out in distance, draws a nice post, and gets the edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Alwazabridesmaid) (5-2) - Lightly-raced Tommy Town home bred is racing second back off an eight-month layoff. She tired while between horses in her return at Los Alamitos, is brought back quickly, and had a quick half-mile breeze Dec. 26th. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Altaira) (4-1) - Filly has finished third in two starts at this level following her maiden win. Last out she was 1.5 lengths behind 'Takeiteasyplease' and should factor from off the pace here.
4th pick: #6 (Penny N Mitzi) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced, she's dropping in class after tiring badly at Del Mar Nov. 21st. It was her first race in 10 months, and she should move forward off of it.
