Seven lightly-campaigned California-bred two-year-old fillies will tangle Wednesday in the featured $100,000 Generous Portion Stakes at Del Mar.

The six-furlong sprint attracted Be Lifted Up, Drayden Van Dyke; Time for Suzzie, Heriberto Figueroa; Give Me a Hint, Kent Desormeaux; Dichotomy, Mario Gutierrez; Mucho Unusual, Flavien Prat; Swing Thoughts, Tyler Conner, and Creative Instinct, Tyler Baze.

With the exception of Mucho Unusual, making her career debut, all of the Generous Portion entrants are winners. Time for Suzzie and Dichotomy come into the race from stakes efforts. The former was a well-beaten fourth behind Naughty Tiger in the C.T.B.A. Stakes, while Dichotomy was eighth of ten behind the impressive Bellafina in the Sorrento Stakes.

Scoring victories in their most recent races were Be Lifted Up, claimed for $32,000 from a maiden event; Give Me a Hint, a nine and one-quarter length winner in $50,000 maiden claiming company, and Creative Instinct, successful in a Cal-bred maiden special weight race by three and three-quarter lengths.

Swing Thoughts won her next-to-last outing, while Mucho Unusual, a daughter of Mucho Macho Man trained by Tim Yakteen, will be competing for the first time.

Post time for the first race is 2 p.m.
