Top pick: #3 (GREGARIOUS GAL) - Trainer Kathy Walsh is known for pointin her maidens towards their second starts and this filly by "Bertrando" tired to finish last of eight when debuting here two weeks ago. Blinkers are added today and she had a bullet 3 furlong breeze at Santa Anita four days ago, presumably with the "hood" on. Barn wins at a 33% rate second out and this filly meets a weak field. The top pick.

2nd pick: #1 (Studio City) - Filly chased the pace after a poor beginning at Del Mar August 24 and tired from her efforts. Trainer Walt Solis has worked her twice since, drops her down a bit, moves her to real dirt, and shortens her up a furlong. Has the rail, Pedroza aboard, and is a win threat.

3rd pick: #7 (Wild Hickory) - Over-matched here last out in a $50K stakes trainer Vod Farris will bring her back down to earth facing fellow maidens and will shorten her up in distance.
