Top pick: #3 (ENGLISH CROSSING) (2-1) - Very consistent filly by turf champ "English Channel" has gone 13-3-4-3 on the grass and is 4-2-1-1 since being claimed by trainer Kristin Mulhall in early April at Gulfstream and being brought to the West Coast. Stalker is working fast, is well spotted, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Life Is a Stone) (3-1) - Speedy Hollendorfer home-bred has gone 5-1-3-1 since switching to the grass this past April and last out finished a pace-setting second in a small stakes at Santa Rosa. Working fast and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Disko Dasko) (8-1) - French-bred filly has been freshened up since July 21st and will be dropping down into allowance company after racing in four straight stakes. Can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Lady Asano) (7-2) - Lightly-raced filly has won on both dirt and "poly" in her five race career and will be racing on the grass for the first time. Working fast for her first since Aug. 25 and a factor if she handles the new footing.
