Top pick: #1 (JAMAICANME ZEALOUS) (5-2) - Speedy filly has tired badly in her first three starts and home bred was well backed in each. Freshened up since July 18th, she's dropping to a new low, draws the rail, and meets a weak field. May be a case of "now or never" for this 4-year-old.
2nd pick: #2 (Royal Affair F F) (8-1) - Longshot moves from turf to dirt after going two turns on the local grass facing tougher Sept. 20. She had finished third here at this level and distance in her previous race and can be a factor today with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #8 (Ranger Annie) (4-1) - She chased and tired to check in a distant third here Oct. 5 in her first start at this $5K claiming price. Filly has a bit of ability and in this weak group must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #10 (Bernstein's Belle) (6-1) - Mare ships in from Thistledown where she raced evenly while never threatening. She's done her best work locally 6-0-1-2 and draws a nice trouble free outside post.
