Top pick: #6 (BLONDE FOG) (3-5) - The probable favorite, filly is working bullets for her first since last Dec. when she finished second at Hollywood in the G1 "Starlet." She broke her maiden here at this distance when debuting in late October and should have little trouble with these if ready.
2nd pick: #2 (Black Witch) (9-2) - She's from the same barn as "Fog" (Bob Baffert), and is working fast on this strip for her first since late July. Her lone win is local, and she should run well in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Irish Presence) (15-1) - Longshot runs off a two month break, and will stretch-out in distance while drawing the rail. Filly runs without blinkers after a one race experiment, and can factor in the exacta at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Melanistic) (12-1) - Shes has more career wins (9)than the rest of the field combined (6). Speedster likes this surface (6-3-1-1), and is working fast for this assignment.
