Top pick: #8 (STORED ATTAQ) (3-1) - Entered two days ago and scratched to await this spot, she's coming off an even and wide fourth-place finish at Los Alamitos Sept. 6. Filly is going 7-furlongs for the first time and draws a nice outside post for her one-run style. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #4 (Mark of the Affair) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she rallied to finish third of 11, beaten almost five lengths racing at this tag on Sept. 19 at Los Alamitos. In a good barn (Ron Ellis) and home bred is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (English Annie) (5-1) - Filly is racing off a two month break and is dropping in class, switching from "poly" to dirt, and shortening up in distance. Working fast and in this rather weak field daughter of "English channel" must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Yodelmesomemagic) (6-1) - She chased and weakened to finish a distant 3rd at this tag going a mile at Los Alamitos Sept. 13th. Stalker is stringing starts together following a long layoff and looks set for a competitive effort.
