Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (NEVER ASK WHY) (5-1) - Filly rallied from close range to finish second here at this level Dec 22. Daughter of 'Colonel John' was racing at this $5,000 claiming price for the first time and earned a career best figure. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Gliding On Air) (8-1) - Speedy grey filly tired badly here at this tag going five furlongs Dec 16. It was her first since late April when she finished second twice here at this level. Dangerous with a repeat of either of those efforts.
3rd pick: #1 (Bella Luz) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she's dropping down to this $5,000 tag for the first time. Speed/stalker has been competitive against tougher competition in the past and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #5 (Felicity Doll) (5-2) - Lightly-raced, she rallied to check in a non-threatening third here racing for an $8,000 tag Dec 19. It was her first since Oct 9 and a career best overall. Must be left in the mix.
