Top pick: #6 (CADET RONI) (3-1) - $105K daughter of 'Colonel John' is going turf to dirt, shortening up in distance, has blinkers added, and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She tired badly on the grass last out after a pair of good efforts on the Santa Anita dirt facing tougher.
2nd pick: #3 (Seaward Cottage) (10-1) - Grey filly tired badly while 'bearing out' when debuting here July 16 facing tougher. Working well since, she's another dropping into a claimer for the first time. Can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Appealing Lady) (5-1) - On the sidelines since late October, she's another dropping in class and shortening up in distance. Competitive in three of four last summer/fall, she can be a player if ready.
4th pick: #1 (Bella Sierra) (6-1) - Filly shower sharp speed when debuting in late May at Santa Anita facing tougher. Drops, is adding blinkers, and she has the rail. Can be in this from start-to-finish at a square price.
