Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (ELGOFRANCO) (7-2) - A Reddam home bred by 'Square Eddie', she's finished second in all three starts sprinting, twice on the dirt and once on the grass. Speedy sort draws a tough outside post in her first beyond 6 furlongs, but I give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Sassyserb) (4-1) - A strong win candidate, this filly has finished second in three straight at this distance on the grass. The latest came facing 'open' company Dec. 1 at Del Mar and this stalker is back in with fellow Cal breds for this assignment.
3rd pick: #11 (Miss Ryleigh) (9-2) - She rallied to finish second when debuting in a sprint on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Nov. 22. Filly is switching to the grass in her first for Peter Miller, 23% with new arrivals since Jan 1 of 2019, and is stretching out in distance (19%).
4th pick: #4 (Nocherylikemychery) (8-1) - Even-paced type has shown enough to get a share, but would need to step it up considerably for any shot at winning this.
