Top pick: #3 (WICKEDLY SWEET) (9-5) - The probable favorite, filly has finished second in her last three starts, the latest coming here at this tag and trip on Nov. 15. She ships back from Fair Hill off a fast work there a week ago and looks ready to break her maiden.
2nd pick: #6 (Gem City Gal) (5-2) - Freshened up since Oct. 18, filly will be going turf to dirt, shortening up in distance, and a very good barn (Jay Servis) drops her into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Samurai's Honor) (4-1) - She tired last out after "stumbling" at the break and was 4 lengths back of "Sweet" at the finish. She has the rail, early speed, and is getting better.
4th pick: #2 (Ready to Rule) (5-1) - Daughter of "More Than Ready" raced evenly when debuting here facing tougher Nov. 20. Good second out barn (Mike Hushion 33%) drops her down and brings her back quickly.
