Top pick: #1 (BE PROUD) (2-1) - One of two fillies entered by the Baffert barn, and they give the "Hall of Fame" conditioner a strong hand in this $100K stakes. This daughter of "Proud Citizen" comes off a career best when breaking her maiden at Santa Anita on Oct. 27.
2nd pick: #2 (Georgia) (7-5) - The second of the Baffert pair, she's been freshened up since getting her maiden win at Santa Anita in late Sep. Working very fast for this and she completes a tough looking pair from Baffert.
3rd pick: #4 (Pleasant Miss) (6-1) - The field's most experienced runner 7-1-2-3, has placed in four stakes, and is the only one entered with a previous win on this surface. Stretch threat.
