Top pick: #4 (ROMAN CHARITY) - Consistent vetern moves up in price off an easy win in at this 6.5 furlong trip at Santa Anita racing for a $16K price tag just 15 days ago. Claimed that afternoon by Jack Carava (18% first off the claim), she' run well on this surface in the past (10-2-1-5) and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Include the Baby) - Emerald Downs invader is having a great year (5-3-1-1) and is racing at a price and distance she's very good at. Freshened-up since Sept. 15, trainer Jim Penney has her working sharply for her first on a synthetic surface. Tough foe if she takes to it.
