Top pick: #7 (SAARLANDISOURLAND) - Filly drops and shortens-up for this contest. Smashing maiden win on this surface in June was followed by a fine effort at Saratoga in her first vs. winners. Next pair were against tougher and came on "wet" tracks. Can win this on a "fast" surface.
2nd pick: #3 (Jet on Home) - Lightly-raced filly goes second off a half year's absence. Return run was encouraging and she can compete here with a slight move forward.
3rd pick: #5 (First Flute) - Picked-up the maiden win on October 2 and it's encouraging that she did so from off the lead. Lightly raced and has been competitive in all but one, when she stumbled badly. Has a shot as filly takes on fellow winners for the first time.
