Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AMERICAN GAL) (5-2) - Filly broke poorly and had a very wide journey when rallying to finish third in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Santa Anita Nov 5. She had won her first pair in easy fashion and is working fast for this G1.

2nd pick: #2 (Union Strike) (7-2) - Another who broke badly in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies, she raced 'head strong' and wide while checking in 5.5 lengths behind 'American Gal'. Working fast since, trainer Craig Dollase replaces Marty Garcia with Gary Stevens.

3rd pick: #5 (Sandy's Surprise) (15-1) - One of three entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, she's moving way up in class in her first facing winners. She was an easy maiden winner Nov 3 at Santa Anita and that makes her the only one entered with a win at this 8.5-furlong trip. Interesting longshot.

4th pick: #8 (Fact of Life) (8-1) - From the same barn (Bob Baffert) as 'American Gal', she has early speed and is attempting a two-turn distance for the first time. Her latest figure fits with theses and she'll be a big price.

5th pick: #1 (Go On Mary) (12-1) - Another of the O'Neill trio, she's much like 'Fact of Life'. Filly has early speed and is trying a two-turn trip for the first time. She has the rail, is improving, and may get a share at very big odds.
