Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (UNTOUCHABLE U) (9-2) - Price play is moving from dirt to turf and stretching out in distance. Bred for the grass, filly rallied to finish second in a dirt sprint Oct 16 at Santa Anita. Trainer Eddie Truman has worked her four times since and veteran Gary Stevens stays aboard.

2nd pick: #1 (Yaffe) (8-1) - Daughter of 'City Zip' ships back from Golden Gate Fields where she rallied to miss by just under a length racing at this level going a mile Nov 1. Fits, has the rail, and a recent half-mile bullet work at Los Alamitos.

3rd pick: #12 (Margaret Reay) (3-1) - Would like her more, but this marooned post (12th of 12) will hurt her overall chances. That said, she's never finished worse than fourth in seven grass starts and last out she checked in second at Santa Anita Oct 18 going a mile. In shape and a major threat if able to avoid a wide journey.

4th pick: #4 (Luminary) (12-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, daughter of 'Smart Strike' raced evenly in her grass debut Oct 10 at Santa Anita. It was her first start since Nov 2 of 2014. Working fine for her first try going two turns and she may grab a share at a big price.

5th pick: #3 (Tap Dancing) (15-1) - Irish import has disappointed a number of times. Daughter of the world class 'Galileo' has been working sharply for her first since a poor race Oct 10 and may be competitive at long odds.
