Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (COUNTER CULTURE) (2-1) - Broman runner enters off a second-place finish Nov 6 going seven furlongs at this level. Daughter of 'Smart Strike' has worked three times since, draws the rail, and trainer Jimmy Jerkens adds Lasix.

2nd pick: #2 (Paradise Peak) (7-2) - Filly has finished second in both starts since coming off a bit more than a four month layoff Oct 23. Much improved in that pair and Irad Ortiz Jr. gets aboard.

3rd pick: #3 (Sapporo) (5-1) - Interesting first-time-starter. In the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Jonathan Sheppard, he has her working very fast at Fair Hill for her debut. Home bred is dangerous at a price if she runs to her a.m. drills.

4th pick: #6 (Irish Heroine) (8-1) - Grey filly hasn't raced since early Sept. of 2014. She just missed when debuting at Saratoga Aug 14 of that year, then finished third of 14 in a $141K stakes at Finger Lakes. Can impact if ready.
