Top pick: #5 (UBELONGTOMEMISSY) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she stretches out after missing by a "neck" at this level going 7-furlongs at Santa Anita on Nov. 3. Solid effort came off a seven week freshening and 4-year-old has run well on this surface in the past. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Demonsterous) (4-1) - The main speed, she ships from Golden Gate in shape and will be dropping down switching from turf to "poly," and has blinkers on. Working fast locally and she's won here in the past.
3rd pick: #2 (Warren's Flasher) (10-1) - Price play has been competitive in most of her starts 10-3-1-2, and will be trying a "poly" surface for the first time. Very dangerous if she takes to the new footing.
4th pick: #6 (English Crossing) (5-1) - Well-bred filly goes first off a Doug O'Neill claim (22%) and will be switching from turf to "poly" stalker fits with her best and has a pair of fine recent works on view.
