Top pick: #6 (WINEKEEPER) (2-1) - She's one of two fillies entered by Dave Jacobson, and the pair race uncoupled. Daughter of "Pure Prize" has been razor sharp in both starts and broke her maiden at Belmont in late Sept. Claimed that day by Jacobson, he's freshened her up since and brings her back at the purchase price.
2nd pick: #3 (Summertime Friend) (9-5) - Daughter of "Medaglia d'Oro" cost $350K this past March and was an impressive maiden winner Oct. 20 at Belmont when debuting. She survived a pace-duel through fast fractions and drew off to an easy 4 1/2 length win. Working fast since and an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Alpaca Fina) (5-1) - The second of the Jacobson pair, daughter of "Big Brown" is the field's only two-time winner and is the only filly entered who has won on this surface. Stalker fits, and she'd love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.
