Top pick: #2 (WARREN'S MO MONEY) - Lightly raced home-bred has been competitive in all three starts facing much tougher and trainer Jorge Gutierrez will drop her way down and race her on conventional dirt. Has a nice local work eight days ago and can take this with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #1 (Jimini Christmas) - Filly raced close up throughout in her debut at Del Mar August 11 and held well to finish third of 11, beaten two lengths. Has the rail, a pair of works since her initial outing, and trainer Craig Lewis is off to a fast start at this short meet. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Free Itch) - She has some early speed but has tired in both starts and last out was far back of "Jimini". Has a pair of excellent works since then and is in a very crafty barn (Bob Troeger). "Live" longshot.
