Top pick: #4 (COURTROOM KISS) (7-2) - Classier in the past, daughter of "Lawyer Ron" is dropping to a new low in price, and first time for trainer Jon Nance (a 26% winning angle). Stalker has raced evenly in her first pair back from almost a years layoff and should defeat these on the class drop.
2nd pick: #9 (Severed Ties) (5-1) - Freshened up since early August, mare finished second in a small stakes at Wyoming Downs at that time. She's done most of her best work at Turf Paradise (15-3-5-0) and is 18-4-6-1 overall in dirt sprints. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Buddy Princess) (10-1) - Cal bred mare has sharp early speed and will be dropping in class off almost a six month layoff. A pair of sharp recent local works indicate she's ready off the long vacation.
4th pick: #7 (Raisin a Delight) (6-1) - She returns to Arizona after spending the summer at Finger Lakes, which is her norm. Veteran mare has gone 23-4-4-4 here on the dirt in the past, and the level and distance are fine with her. In the mix.
5th pick: #5 (Margo's Delight) (6-1) - Mare is more adept at longer distances and is racing off a May 3rd layoff. She's performed well here in the past on the main track (8-1-3-1), but this has the look of a conditioning "prep" for her. May grab a minor award.
