2015 Starlet Stakes Race Favorites

Stays in Vegas - has four wins in five career starts for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer - all of the wins coming in minor stakes races. Last time out was a win in the Pike Place Dancer Stakes at Golden Gate November 1 after a victory in the Surer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita October 10 (both of those wins coming on turf), a fifth in her only graded stakes action - behind Songbird and Pretty N Cool in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante in September and wins in the Wine Country Debutante in August and the Juan Gonzalez Memorial at first asking in July. Stays in Vegas has been mighty impressive so far but hopes for her first graded stakes score Saturday on her sixth different track so far. Alex Solis has been tabbed with accomplishing that goal from post 3.

Pretty N Cool - intriguing Bob Baffert trained filly has five career starts with three wins and a second place finish. Last time out was a career worst effort however - a fifth after fading behind many of her Starlet foes in the minor Desi Arnaz Stakes at Del Mar November 15. It followed a nice win in the Grade 2 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park October 18, a game runner-up finish behind Songbird in the Del Mar Debutante September 5, a win in impressive fashion - by 2 3/4 lengths as favorite in the Grade 2 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar August 12 and a maiden score by 4 1/2 lengths on a sloppy track July 19. She had been a factor in every career start before last time out and will be out to avenge that uncharacteristic performance from the outside post 9. Martin Garcia has the mount on the only graded stakes winner in the field.

Pacific Heat - has won both of her career starts for trainer Peter Eurton. She makes her graded stakes debut off a good win by 5 1/4 lengths in the minor Golden State Juvenile Fillies Stakes at Del Mar October 29 and a 5 1/2 furlong maiden score at first asking - on this track by an astounding 13 1/2 lengths in September. She tries to make it 3-for-3 in a major step up in competition with Joe Talamo guiding her from gate 4.
