Top pick: #10 (SOUL SEARCHER) (7-2) - Filly tired going "down the hill" facing tougher when debuting on the Santa Anita lawn on Nov. 3. Trainer Mike Mitchell drops her way down, move her from grass to "poly," and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Magic Number) (5-1) - She's been competitive in all five starts since dropping down to this claiming level. One-run type draws a better post thatn last out and is a win threat turning for home.
3rd pick: #8 (Kylee's Star) (3-1) - She takes the big drop into claimers for the first time and filly by "Northern Afleet" has shown enough in 7 starts facing tougher to be considered a win candidate.
4th pick: #6 (Consent) (12-1) - Longshot runs third back off a 2 1/2 month break and improved a bit last out. Can impact today at a big price with a bit of a move forward.
5th pick: #4 (Red Red Door) (6-1) - Another taking the drop into claimers, home-bred hasn't shown much in three starts and the class reduction can only help.
