Top pick: #6 (BEER GOGGLES) (8-5) - Filly ran off before the start of her latest and did well to finish fourth of nine, beaten two lengths Oct. 20. The 4-year-old had finished second in her previous pair and her early speed in this paceless field can lead to the win.
2nd pick: #3 (Rory's Glory) (5-2) - Much improved since moving to the grass, speed/stalker is switching back to the dirt after being competitive in three straight turf appearances. If she repeats her infield figures on the main track, the rest are in trouble.
3rd pick: #9 (Simone Templar) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly has lost ground in every start to date. However, she showed a better effort last out, is from a winning barn (Patty Farro), and draws a nice outside post to gun from.
4th pick: #1 (Jacey's Revenge) (20-1) - Nicely bred filly ahs raced evenly at this tag in both local starts and has had poor getaways in each. Capable barn (Jim Ryerson) stretches her out in distance and she can factor with a clean break.
