Top pick: #1 (ART DESIGN) - Speedy filly moves to the rail after chasing and tiring last out from a wide post. Texas-bred faces a field of many "first timers" and her speed gives her a big edge. Can be long gone with an alert start.
2nd pick: #2 (Miss Stone Express) - Another with speed and she races for the first time since early August at Evangeline where she finished second in a grass sprint. She gets a positive trainer change to Tony Richey (20% with new arrivals) and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Lovely Fine Cat) - Filly chased and tired in her debut here on Oct. 20 and was far back of "Design" at the finish. Working fast for this and think she'll be competitive at a nice price.
