It was her third win in a row and she defeated similar state bred Oct 12. Stalker has the rail and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Stealthediamonds) (5-2) - She was a winner sprinting 5 furlongs on the Del Mar grass facing optional-$62K claimers/N2X 'open' company Nov 24. It was his first following a Mike Puype claim and her third straight strong effort going short on the turf. In shape and dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Apache Princess) (3-1) - Strong finisher is cutting back in distance and moving in with fellow Cal bred after finishing 5th of 8, beaten 4.5 lengths going 10 furlongs here facing 'open' company in the G1 American Oaks Dec 28. Home bred must be left in the mix.
