Top pick: #13 (EULA B) - She appeared to be a tad "short" last out when beaten 4 1/2 lengths at this level racing "down the hill" at Santa Anita Oct 21st. Race was her first in 11 months and trainer Dave Hoffmans brings this grey daughter of "Bernstein" back quickly for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Elusive Jackpot) - Baffert trained filly by "Elusive Quality" has been freshened up since tiring in a pair of starts during the summer. Pegram home-bred showed high early speed in both and is training fast for her return. Bred to like the grass and that's where she runs for the first time.
3rd pick: #2 (Saturday's Girl) - Unseen since tiring when debuting Oct 2nd of 2011 at santa Anita racing on the dirt, trainer Jeff Bondce has her working fast and moves her to grass for her return off the 13 1/2 month layoff. Can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (My Bashert) - Speedy filly tired badly going a mile on the Santa Anita dirt Oct 25th. Trainer Doug O'Neill brings her back quickly, shortens her up, move her to the turf, and has noted speed rider Marty Pedroza aboard for the first time.
