Top pick: #6 (ZIPPPIN E ) - Goes turf to "poly," shortens up in distance, drops into a claimer for the first time, and runs third back off a 4 1/2 month layoff. Filly finished a strong second in her return run on the Del Mar main track, and in her most recent she tired after setting a fast pace here on the turf. Has a nice recent work and can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Miss Picaboo) - Working very fast for her first start since Sept. 12 and will move from the Fairplex dirt to the Hollywood "poly," where her best race ever took place. Has excellent gate speed and gets a rider upgrade today to David Flores. Win candidate.
