Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TWO STEPS OF GLORY) (3-1) - Speedy filly is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening back up to a sprint distance. Blinkers go on, she's brought back quickly (eight days) and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Knightswithputnam) (8-1) - She's had excuses in both starts and faced tougher in each. Trainer Doug O'Neill drops her down shortens her up, and adds blinkers. Grey filly by 'Unbridled's Song' should factor at a square price against this group.
3rd pick: #6 (Juju's Mojo) (5-1) - She's raced evenly in both starts and has finished second and third without really threatening. In a good barn (Phil D'Amato) and a stretch threat in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Passionate Emotion) (4-1) - She was bet down to 2-1 favoritism here at this tag Nov 13. Filly rallied from off the pace to finish second of 10,beaten just over a length. Must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #5 (Pirate Flag) (12-1) - Long shot has regressed in her last pair after being competitive in her first two appearances. She's racing first off a Cliff Sise Jr. re-claim and may grab a share at a big price.
