Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly runs first off a Dave Jacobson claim (20%) and second back from a 6.5-month layoff. She rallied while wide to finish a close up 3rd for a $40K tag Nov. 24th and drops into a winning spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Champagne Therapy) (5-1) - Improving filly set the pace before weakening to check in 3rd here at this level and distance in the mud Dec. 7th. Racing back into shape following several layoffs, 4yo should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #7 (Katie Ice) (3-1) - Competitive in three straight at this level, she rallied late to 'neck' 'Champagne Therapy' out of the place spot here Dec. 7th. An obvious threat at a small price.
4th pick: #1 (Boss Lady Platinum) (12-1) - Longshot has the rail and some early speed. 4yo is racing second back off a long layoff and has some fine works showing.
