Races of the Week

Last week, Costa Rising won the Louisiana Champions Day Classic, paying $2.80 to win and $2.10 to place. Hello Sunday ran seventh in the Native Diver Handicap. Carts Italian Rose was fifth in the Pat Whitworth Illinois Debutante Stakes.

This week, the Daily Racing Form's races of the week are the Hollywood Starlet Stakes at Hollywood Park and La Prevoyante Handicap at Calder.

My selection in the Starlet is the undefeated Spritely, who should be helped by the inside post. She's never run around two turns before, but her Tomlinson rating indicates that a mile and a sixteenth shouldn't be a problem for her. The Form provides free past performances.

Dalvina, making her second start in North America, looks like a deserving favorite in La Prevoyante. She's coming off of a win in the Long Island Handicap, at today's distance of a mile and a half. The Form provides free past performances.
