Top pick: #6 (G's Heavenly Union) - Strong second-place finish in her latest, going "down the hill" at Santa Anita should set her up for her first try around two-turns. That effort was her first on the turf and she took an instant liking to the surface. The choice for the win in a contentious race.
2nd pick: #4 (Spanish Bunny) - Improved the minute she set foot on the grass and that's a common thing for sons and daughters of "Unusual Heat". Filly finished a close-up fourth (beaten by a length) in her last, which came sprinting on this course. Stretches-out and looks well prepared for the attempt.
3rd pick: #11 (Haka) - Claiborne Farm home-bred was probably sent here exclusively to run on the grass. Her lone race to date came in a "switched" contest at Belmont in early October, and filly rallied late in the slop to finish a distant second. Lasix is added today and she looks well-meant.
4th pick: #10 (Malver Spring) - Darley Stable representative broke "slowly" in her debut on the Santa Anita lawn in late September. Freshened-up for the past seven weeks by trainer Eoin Harty, he'll add blinkers to her equipment today. Recent drill (presumably with the hood on) is fast.
