Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SASSY LITTLE LILA) (7-2) - Very speedy filly races for the first time since tiring at Del Mar Nov. 4 in the G2 Goldikova Stakes. Well traveled miss has finished second twice in G1 contests and was beaten under a length in both. Working steadily here for her new trainer (Rich Baltas) and she can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Insta Irma) (9-2) - Consistent mare finished second here to today's rival 'Madame Stripes' in the Megahertz Stakes (G3) at this mile distance Jan 15. A stakes winner on this course Oct. 7, stalker has the rail and is a serious player.
3rd pick: #4 (Madame Stripes) (5-2) - Argentine import rallied to defeat 'Insta Irma' here going a mile in a G3 stakes Jan. 15. That brought her local turf record to 8-2-5-0 and she's an obvious win candidate at a short price.
4th pick: #3 (Sweet Charity) (10-1) - French import steps up in class following a come-from-behind win here at this trip facing weaker Jan. 7. It was her first race in nine months and she was sharp here last winter/spring before the layoff. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
