Odds Are in Jones’ Favor in the La Pacifica

It will be a surprise if trainer Paul Jones doesn’t win tonight’s $26,600 La Pacifica Handicap.

Jones has four of the six entrants in the 350-yard race for 3-year-old fillies, including Willie Gotta Pie, who has won two in a row.

Willie Gotta Pie will be a lot shorter price than she has been in her two most recent victories. She was 8-1 on Jan. 10, then 23-1 on Feb. 20.

The other three fillies Jones will race are In His Dreams, who has won two of five, Brava Brava, who was fifth behind Willie Gotta Pie last month, and Rubiate, who won a $12,500 starter allowance race in her last outing Feb. 20.

Miss Marality, who has one win in six starts for trainer Dennis Ekins, and Jabonerita Chicks, a two-time winner, complete the field.

The picks: 1. Cyclone Racer. 2. Hasty Vik. 3. Jamaicanme Burn. 4. Kings Whisper. 5. Signature Form. 6. Red Sparks A Flying. 7. Trip Dlite Fantastic. 8. Willie Gotta Pie. 9. J M Larrys Legacy. 10. I Got Hot Pants.

Four! Kk New Doc, Cyclone Racer and A Kahuna in the first, Hasty Vik in the second, Refuse To Lose Gn and Jamaicanme Burn in the third and Sey More Proof, Rwmagnaterrasmoky and Kings Whisper in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Almost A Ten returns to Los Alamitos in the seventh. Solar Dash could fire fresh for trainer Adan Farias in the ninth.
