Top pick: #10 (MYPERFECTVALENTINE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she's one of two entered by trainer Gary Gullo, and the pair race uncoupled. Filly comes off a second place finish here at this tag & trip on Nov. 6th in her first ever at this low a price. Daughter of "Curlin" must over-come a tough outside post, but she has some early speed and meets a weak looking field.
2nd pick: #5 (Estrange) (12-1) - Longshot goes turf to dirt, and is racing third back off a three month layoff. Filly is well-bred, enters off a career best on the Belmont turf Oct. 25th, and daughter of "Tiznow" can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (Retalfa) (5-1) - The second of the Gullo fillies is lightly raced, and is running off a 3 1/2 month break. She's gone 7-0-1-4 racing on the dirt, and is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #4 (High Inflation) (3-1) - Long-time maiden has finished third in two straight at this tag, and last out was 2 1/2 back of "Valentine." Consistent on the dirt (12-0-4-3) and can impact, but may be over-bet a bit.
5th pick: #3 (Absolute Paradise) (8-1) - State-bred finished a fine second two back at Belmont, but tired badly here last out. Filly had a very difficult post that day (13th of 13), and draws much better today.
