Top pick: #2 (BABESSA) - The probable favorite finished second facing tougher when debuting Sept. 4 at Del Mar. Working well on this surface and that last race is by far the best last out of any entered. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Righteous Renee) - Has ability and will drop into a claimer in her third back off a 10-month layoff. Working fine for a good small barn (Melody Conlon) and the main danger.
