Top pick: #5 (MISS MISCHIEF) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly has won 3-of-4 this year, the latest coming here at this distance in the $100K "Pearl City" stakes on Nov. 20. By far a career best, it was her first off a private trainer change to Steve Asmussen. She has a solid shot at knocking off the presumed heavy favorite "Ullapool."
2nd pick: #4 (Ullapool) (2-1) - The probable heavy favorite, very speedy grey filly has won her last pair in easy gate-to-wire fashion, the latest coming at Belmont Oct. 17 in her first start in 13 months. Given ample time to recover, she's working fast and is an obvious strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Delight Quality) (5-1) - Darley Stable home-bred tries hard every time (10-2-6-2) and stalker has been freshened up since late August at Saratoga. Working steadily, she draws a nice ground-saving post and is a late threat.
4th pick: #7 (Baby J) (8-1) - Three-year-old takes on older this afternoon and this speed/satalker won the G3 "Victory Ride" earlier this year at Belmont. Working fast, she has a flexible style and is a threat if able to avoid a wide trip.
