Top pick: #4 (GLOBAL VIEW) (5-2) - Son of international sire "Galileo" cost $500K and looked very sharp when breaking is maiden going "down the hill" at Santa Anita Oct. 27. Strong finisher was making her grass debut and is bred to love this mile trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Pablo Del Monte) (2-1) - The probable favorite, colt by "Giant's Causeway" is undefeated (2- for-2) and has won both of those "poly" track starts in easy gate-to-wire fashion. Working fast and an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Aotearoa) (3-1) - Cal.-bred raced evenly in the "Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies" (G1) last out and had won a stakes for state-breds in er grass debut in her previous effort. Can factor with her best.
4th pick: #1 (Royal Banker) (5-1) - English-bred makes her Nort American debut and is working well locally for her new trainer (Eoin Harty). Lasix is added and she was a nice looking maiden winner in early Sep before "crossing the pond."
