Post Time 4:17 EST—A field of nine 2 year-old fillies, including a coupling, are assembled to do battle on the Calder lawn going the 7.5 furlong distance. Plenty of speed in this one with no less than five starters showing a penchant for being up close early in the race. Let’s give those fillies with a late turn of foot the nod in this heat.

#7 Diva Delite (5-2) will go off the prohibitive favorite by virtue of her dominating victory against better on the dirt last out. Prior to that race, she ran a solid closing effort to run second on the turf against even better. In total, she is 8 of 9 in the money and has made the transition to route races with ease.

Couplings usually leave something to be desired in most races and they typically go off at underlay odds. #1 Sexy Lady (3-1), however, possesses the desirable late kick and, after a brief layoff, should continue her pattern of increasing speed figures. Always like to see increasing speed figures when 2 year olds make the move from a sprint to their first two- turn route race. Well thought of at the OBS sales fetching $100k in the ring. Trainer David Braddy is 20% with maiden winners last out.

#6 Write When Ready (4-1) is a solid Pletcher trainee that showed some promise this past Summer. Has the turf and distance breeding and Pletcher can bring them back ready after a long lay off. Coa gets the mount and is 5 for 5 in the money for Pletcher at Calder. Was last seen losing to the eventual Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Tapitsfly.

#4 Cake Walk (8-1) and #8 For Terina (12/1) are live long shots to play on the bottom of your exotics.
