SANTA ANITA Race #10 (THE CALIFORNIA CUP JUVENILE FILLIES)

Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (SACRED DELIGHT) - She's been sharp in both of her well-bet starts and she'll be trying winners and a two-turn distance, both for the first time. Home-bred broke her maiden going 7 furlongs at Del Mar on Sept. 5 and has worked three times on this surface since then. The added distance should be in her favor.

2nd pick: #9 (Tilde) - The probable favorite, she's won three of her four starts and is the only stakes winner entered (and she's done it twice). Speed/stalker is another attempting a two-turn trip for the first time and is a win candidate, though at a short price.

3rd pick: #10 (Graduator) - Maiden was only a nose back of "Delight" last out at Del Mar and is one of four maidens entered. She was heavily backed when debuting in early June and her latest showed a much improved effort. In the mix.

4th pick: #3 (Cotton's Point) - Another maiden, she finished a distant second to "Tilde" in a Del Mar stakes on July 20th and her stalking style should play out fine in this two-turn contest. Price play.
