Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (VASILIKA) (5-2) - Filly is seeking her ninth win in a row, all on the turf with four of those coming in stakes. Strong finisher is two for two2 at Del Mar, and there's plenty of potential pace signed on to help her late run be effective.
2nd pick: #5 (Quidura) (5-1) - English import has been freshened up for just under two months. Mare is a multiple stakes winner on the grass and has been lightly raced this year. She draws a ground saving post, is in the barn of Chad Brown, and Jose Ortiz is in for the mount.
3rd pick: #2 (Valadorna) (9-2) - Stalker gives away a lot of grass experience to all but has run well in both starts on the turf. She's racing for the first time since Oct. 6 when she finished a 1/2-length in front of 'Quidura.' Training fast at the Fair Grounds, Mark Casse has Mike Smith aboard, and you get that pair at a rare big price for a change.
4th pick: #3 (Fahan Mura) (10-1) - The main speed here, and the rail is hers for the taking. When last in action she finished a pace-setting 2nd to 'Vasilika' at this distance in a G2 Nov. 4 at Santa Anita. This 4yo will lead them as far as she can.
