Top pick: #1 (CLUBHOUSE RULES) - Trainer Craig Lewis is having an outstsnding meet ( 6 for 12) and this filly will drop down into a career soft spot in her 2nd back off almost a 5 month layoff. 3yo by "Tribal Rule" weakened in her return start just 6 days ago and did so after attempting to bid on the far turn. Has the rail and she'd been training fast at Del Mar for her comeback. The top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Lucky Sis ) - She finished 5th of 7, beaten two lengths at this price and distance as a heavy favorite 6 days ago. The leading trainer at this meet (Doug O'Neill) turns her around quickly and she'll contend this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (Birthday Time) - Away slowly here in a 4 furlong contest Sep 11th, she made up some ground to run 4th of 8. Mare by "Menifee" goes an extra two furlongs today and leading rider Pedroza( who had other options) is back aboard. She's broken poorly in her last pair and can ill afford to make that mistake again.
