Top pick: #5 (TO BELIEVE) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly has early speed and is dropping down a notch while stretching out around two turns for the first time. In a top barn (Phil Aristone), and she gets the call.
2nd pick: #4 (Fortunes Flower) (4-1) - She's another with a bit of speed and takes the same small drop as "To Believe," and daughter of "Flower Alley" is dropping 7lbs. She should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #1 (Lucy's Finale) (6-1) - No speed type has been competitive in five of her last six, and last out rallied to finish second here at this level and distance. Old grey mare once again draws the ground saving rail and will be finishing fast.
4th pick: #3 (M'Lady Penny) (8-1) - She finished a strong second here at this level on Oct. 13th, but tired badly in her latest when four lengths back of "Lucy's Finale." With other speed in here, filly needs to rate in this spot to have any chance.
