Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (AMARE) (3-1) - Purchased for $60,000 this past July as a 2-year-old in training, she's shown early speed in all three starts. Filly tired last out after pressing the pace from a tough outside post (11th of 11). She draws much better and trainer Phil D'Amato adds blinkers (a 26% winning angle from the barn). Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Pico Chick) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she was beaten a 'head' Oct 17 at Santa Anita racing at this tag going 5.5-furlongs. Her connections bring her back quickly and speedy filly draws the rail. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Exit Sixty Slew) (4-1) - Emerald Downs shipper raced evenly there when debuting at this trip facing special weights Sept 19. She's worked three times at Santa Anita since moving south, drops in class, and has blinkers added by a top barn in the northwest (Blaine Wright).
