Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (LUNAR ZIP) (2-1) - Well bred 3-year-old is one of two entered by trainer Rich Baltas. She's been competitive in all six races and is 4-1-3-0 on the dirt. Daughter of 'Malibu Moon' missed by a 'neck' at this level and distance Oct. 10 at Santa Anita and has worked fast twice since.
2nd pick: #2 (C.C.Zip) (4-1) - Speedy sort moves from turf to dirt and stretches out in distance. Capable on either dirt or turf, she was only 1.5 lengths behind 'Lunar Zip' in a dirt sprint July 4.
3rd pick: #4 (That's a Lady) (5-2) - She recovered after a trouble break to check in third, only a 'nose' in back of 'Lunar Zip' here at this level and distance Oct. 10 at Santa Anita. A career best overall, it came of almost a 10 week freshening. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Savannah Sky) (5-1) - Even-paced 4-year-old is the second of the Baltas pair. Stretch runner fits with her best, but a projected slow pace may limit her to a minor award.
