Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RICKIE NINE TOE'S) (2-1) - Filly missed by a 1/2 length while wide debuting at 5.5 furlongs facing $50K Cal bred claimers Nov. 29. Home bred has worked since, is from the barn of Brian Koriner 30% second time out, and he has her in with $30,000 'open' company for this attempt. I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (It's a Riddle) (4-1) - Speedy sort has been competitive in all three starts when in claimers. Capable from a stalking spot, state bred draws a good post for her style and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #3 (Swift Socks) (6-1) - Filly broke slowly when debuting Nov. 29 at Del Mar and was just over 9 lengths behind 'Rickie Nine Toes' at the finish. She received some betting support and should impact today with a better beginning.
4th pick: #4 (La Rosa Drive) (8-1) - On the sidelines since May 10, she finished a pace-setting second that day sprinting 5 furlongs at Indiana Downs in an 'off the turf' contest. Working steadily here for her new trainer Dave Hoffmans, daughter of 'Discreet Cat' is a threat f ready.
