1 1/8 Miles (Turf) | Fillies | 3 Year Olds Stakes | Purse: $150,000

1 Cozi Rosie Smith M E 119 L
2 City to City Rosario J 118 L
3 Triple Cream Baze T C 114 L
4 In the Slips Bejarano R 116 L
5 Evening Jewel Espinoza V 122 L
6 Dreamed to Dream Blanc B 114 Blk-Off L
7 Andina (IRE) Talamo J 117 L

I will be getting absolutely nutty on Andina in this race. Talamo got completely outridden by Mike Smith last time and I think this filly wants every bit of 9 furlongs and probably longer.

I just realized that Evening Jewel is in the race so the odds on Andina should be fair, especially with City to City and Cozi Rosie both in there. Only concern is the pace scenario.

Andina is a (quasi) RAT. She's run one good race and that was her maiden win. She couldn't run with C2C 2 back, over her 'preferred' distance, when she got a better trip, and she couldn't keep up with CR last out when that one was widest on the backstretch and turn. What she really needs is a completely collapsing race, where she makes the last move and/or a few horses to go down in the race -- include the 2 mentioned above.

P.S. I wouldn't bet a nickel on Talamo on anything other than a speed horse.
