Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MI PI ROMANCER) (5-2) - Like many entered filly is racing on the grass for the first time. She's raced evenly in her first pair on the dirt and last out checked in fourth in a $200,000 stakes for fellow Calif. breds at Santa Anita Nov, 4. She's by an exceptional turf sire 'Unusual Heat' and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Princess Roi) (3-1) - Speedy filly has been freshened up since finishing second in a pair of local dirt sprints at this level during the summer. Bred for the gras, she's working steadily and it's noted that this home bred was heavily bet in her first two appearances. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #9 (Adler) (6-1) - Another daughter of 'Unusual Heat,' she finished a close up third in her grass debut Sept. 17 at Golden Gate Fields. In her follow up race at Santa Anita Oct. 23 she raced evenly while having traffic issues. Can factor with a clean trip.

4th pick: #7 (Tiz Seeking a Win) (5-1) - Grey filly has had problems at the break in both dirt sprints. Freshened up since Sept. 30, she's working steadily and is another who is bred for grass success.

5th pick: #2 (Ocean Dream) (20-1) - Longshot is racing of a five month layoff and is on the grass for the first time. Reddam home bred runs with Lasix administered and with blinkers off.
