Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (REAL NICE) (7-2) - Lightly raced filly is cutting back in distance and goes turf to dirt. She finished 2nd at this level going five furlongs Nov. 6th, and did so facing males that afternoon. The recent turf race should have advanced her conditioning, and home bred is from the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro.
2nd pick: #1 (Don't Tell Judy) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Joe Johnson, and the pair race uncoupled. The morning line favorite, she's working fast locally for her first since late May. Speedy filly has been competitive in the past facing tougher, and it's noted that leading rider Scott Stevens is aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (Valentine's Gal) (5-1) - The second of the Johnson trained fillies, she tired in her debut here racing on a muddy track Nov. 21st. Heavily bet that day, she's worked fast since, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Sacey Bow) (5-2) - She's moving up in class after missing by a 'neck' here facing weaker Nov. 21st. It was a career best and came off a 2.5-month break. Stalker draws outside of the speed, and that's a good spot for her style.
