Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Desi Arnaz, Gio Ponti, Sun Power

Emily Shields
Justique will be pointed to the Chandelier Stakes on Oct. 8, trainer John Shirreffs said.

Slim pickings this Saturday on the North American stakes front. We’ll make stops on both coasts and in the heartland trying to find a little better-priced winner than Our Flash Drive ($5.20), who romped last Saturday at Woodbine.

Desi Arnaz

It seemed prudent to stand against Justique as the 6-5 favorite in the Chandelier Stakes on Oct. 8 at Santa Anita. This seems like the time to get behind the filly, who might only be fourth choice dropping in class from Grade 1 to listed stakes.
