Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (LILY POD) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly is facing winners and racing on the grass, both for the first time. Daughter of 'Bernstein' was a sharp maiden winner going six furlongs on the Santa Anita dirt Oct 16. She's been bet heavily in every start and is bred to enjoy the switch to the turf.
2nd pick: #6 (Sky Forever) (6-1) - Veteran has won more races (four) than any other in the main body of this turf sprint. She's moving back up in class after winning by a 'nose' here facing weaker at this distance Oct 30. Four-year-old is in shape and has Nakatani aboard as Bejarano is on 'Lily Pod.'
3rd pick: #1 (Perdona) (4-1) - Expensive ($250,000) daughter of 'Blame' is shortening up in distance for her first facing winners. Speed/stalker was an impressive maiden winner going a mile on the Santa Anita turf Oct 18. A career best, it came off a two month break. Three-year-old has worked well since, draws the rail, and has plenty of room for up-side.
4th pick: #7 (Codacious) (7-2) - She's been sharp in both local grass sprints at this trip. Filly enters off an even effort going 'down the hill' at Santa Anita Oct 1. Stalker should factor today as she shortens up in distance.
