DEL MAR Race #8 (THE SOLANA BEACH HANDICAP)

Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (ANTARES WORLD) - Talented mare has won 8 time and banked $434K, with $233,000 of that coming on the grass. Runs first off a 3 1/2 month layoff and first off a private trainer change to Jeff Mullins(27% with new arrivals). Speed/stalker is training nicely and can take this if ready.

2nd pick: #9 (Halo Dolly) - Shes won on dirt, turf, and "poly" and was the winner of the 2011 edition of this stakes. Speed/stalker comes off a near miss here July 21st and that should set her up perfectly as she tries to repeat in this $100K event.

3rd pick: #2 (Sparkling Style) - Lightly raced 4yo has sharp early speed and is traing fast for her first start since June 21st. The Baffert barn moves her to the grass for the first time and she's a threat if she takes to it.
