Top pick: #12 (KATEY PIE) (3-1) - She comes off a career best when finishing second at Santa Anita Oct. 20 racing at this tag. Speed/stalker draws outside of a speey field and can takes this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #10 (Amanda) (7-2) - Daughter of "Smarty Jones" exits the same last race as "Katey" and was only a length back of that rival at the finish. Solid effort came off a a 70-day break and she's worked fast since. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Secret Memo) (8-1 ) - She continues to disappoint and runs for the first time since early Sept. Working steadily, she has early speed and can factor with her best.
4th pick: #4 (Full of Spice) (8-1) - From the same barn (Pete Miller) as "Memo," she set a quick and pressured pace last out at Santa Anita and held gamely to finish third. Daughter of "High Cotton" has worked since and runs without blinkers for the first time.
5th pick: #3 (Harlan's Trick) (10-1) - Longshot tired while racing wide on Oct 10th in her first since Aug. 9 and is working fast locally for this assignment. Can impact at a big price.
