Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PURE BRIGHTNESS) (4-1) - Improving filly set the pace before weakening to finish 2nd to a 'much the best' winner racing here at this level and distance Dec. 4th. A career best, it was her first ever on the grass. The only filly entered, she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (The Googler) (9-2) - Another who ran well here in her grass debut Nov. 15th. She raced evenly while checking in a non-threatening 3rd in a contest common to several others entered here. In the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, gelding is a threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Midnight Reveler) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 'nose' here at this tag and trip in his local and turf debut Nov. 15th. By far a career best, gelding is an obvious win candidate, but at a very short price.
