Top pick: #8 (HUMOR ME) (3-1) - Filly has the best race of those who have started when she was beaten a "head" at Santa Anita when debuting there at this level and distance on Dec. 30. Daughter of "Indian Charlie" is working fast at Hollywood for here return, and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Socialbug) (5-2) - Debuting daughter of "Curlin" cost $300K as a yearling, and has been working very fast dating back to early May. She's from the same barn (Bob Baffert) as "Humor," and if she runs to who works, the others are in deep trouble.
3rd pick: #6 (Fanticola) (5-1) - Unraced in exactly a year, she rallied to finish second after a slow start here at this level, and the winner was eventual 2yo filly champ "Beholder." Working fine, and rare Ontario-bred around here can grab a share if ready.
4th pick: #7 (The Magic Stone) (6-1) - Daughter of "Malibu Moon" makes her debut off of some fine Hollywood works, and is in a barn (Jeff Bonde)that wins at a 21% clip first out, and at a 25% rate when riding Edwin Maldanado.
