Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PONDER LEA) (2-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Rich Baltas. Promising fily finished a troubled fourth when debuting in late August of 2015. Speedy sort has gone 5-3-2-0 since ten and has been razor sharp in both previous local starts. Freshened up since Sept. 3, she's working fast and has the rail.

2nd pick: #2 (Ultimate Holiday) (6-1) - Longshot is the second of the Baltas trained fillies.She's been a bit sub par in five starts this ear, but is working fast and it's noted that Bejarano is aboard. Can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #3 (Brainspin) (5-2) - Expensive ($270,000) daughter of 'Flatter' has won two in a row. Freshened up since Aug 13 at Del Mar, she's working fast, has plenty of speed, and it looks like she has a bright fture.

4th pick: #5 (Seaside Glory) (3-1) - Filly won here at this level and distance Oct 8. A bit of a all-or-nothing type, she faces a much tougher group than she defeated by a diminishing 'head' last out. Her biggest plus is that she has a recency advantage on both 'Ponder Lea' and 'Brainspin'.
