Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (PAPRIKA) (3-1) - This lightly raced filly stretches out around two-turns for the first time. She's finished 2nd in all three grass races going 6.5 furlongs at Santa Anita and missed by a 'nose' there Nov. 2. She gets a slight edge here.
2nd pick: #1 (Radish) (9-2) - Freshened up since Aug. 31, she's been competitive many times at this level and distance. 4yo had good early speed in the past but did not put it on display in her last pair before the layoff. Working well above average, she has the rail, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Miss Voluptious) (5-1) - The field's only first-time-starter, she's bred for grass success, is working steadily, and this 3yo had some very quick a.m drills here during the summer meet and meets a weak field for the level. Dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #6 (Weather Market) (6-1) - 4yo rallied to miss by a 1/2-length going a mile at Santa Anita for a $40K tag Oct. 8. The figure earned fits with these, and she's a late threat despite moving up in class.
