Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CORONADO COOL) (5-2) - Stretch runner has been freshened up since Oct. 28 when she rallied to finish second at Santa Anita facing weaker. Competitive in both previous local starts, she gets a slim edge in a well balanced field.
2nd pick: #1 (Just Be Held) (2-1) - Speed/stalker tired late after chasing a fast pace Nov. 24 at Del Mar facing just a bit tougher. It was her first back of a bit more than seven week break and she should be involved every step from her rail post.
3rd pick: #2 (Todos Santos) (8-1) - Longshot was never involved here at this level Dec. 1 in her first off a Kelly Castaneda claim. In her previous start filly was 4 lengths behind 'Coronado Cool' and could get a slice of this at a big price with a repeat of that effort.
4th pick: #5 (Sapodilla) (7-2) - Speedy filly races first off a Bob Bean claim. Four-year-old finished third at this level here Dec. 1 and is brought back quickly with blinkers on. Must be left in the mix.
