Top pick: #6 (SENSE OF A WOMAN) - She finished a pace-setting second at this level and distance at Fairplex on Sept. 19, then raced wide at the same price-tag going 6 furlongs at santa Anita a month later. Working well since and daughter of "Street Sense" meets a weak field. The top pick, she's one of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill.
2nd pick: #5 (Hard Buns) - Beautifully bred filly has raced evenly in her first pair, both on the grass facing special weights. Trainer Tim Yakteen will drop her into a claimer and switch her to the all weather surface for this afternoon's attempt. Daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Big Variety) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly sprinting at Santa Anita at this tag Oct. 28. Trainer Tom Blincoe has worked her three times since, stretches her out in distance, and has her race without blinkers for the first time. Price play.
