Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SAINT SYLVIE) (3-1) - Speedy filly tired late to check in a close up fourth here at this price tag going six furlongs Nov. 16. She's cutting back a furlong, draws a nice inside post, and has a recency edge on several.
2nd pick: #5 (Bert's Baby) (5-2) - Away since Jan 24, filly is from the same barn (Juan Silva) as 'Saint Sylvie.' Speedy Calif. bred has some sharp local works and is dropping to a new low. The likely winner if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (Of Course It Is) (10-1) - Well bred filly tired badly racing here Nov. 12. However, it was her first race in nine months and she most likely needed the effort. Heavily bet in the past, she may be a big threat at long odds.
4th pick: #6 (Native Speaker) (3-1) - On the sidelines since May 6, she missed by a 'neck' here that day racing at this level. Her latest pair of works indicate she's ready to be sharp off the long absence.
