Top pick: #2 (QATAR'S PEARL) - Kentucky-bred by "Tapit" cost a cool $420,000 and returns to the states following a pair of starts in Ireland where she was competitive in both facing males. She showed early interest which is positive sign, and filly is working steadily and goes with blinkers on. The top pick.
2nd pick: #10 (Chickie Charms) - Stretches-out in distance off a solid second-place finish going "down the hill" at Santa Anita on Oct. 16. Colt by "Rockport Harbor" is working fast for this attempt and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Patriotic Lion) - Bred to like the turf and this son of "Lion Heart" has shown fine early speed in his trio of outings. Tries the grass and a two-turn distance, both for the first time and trainer Pat Biancone will add the "hood".
