Top pick: #3 (Quaintly) - Price play hasn't raced since August 24th at Del Mar when she gave futile chase to a filly who went wire-to-wire in an impressive performance. The distance (9 furlongs) isn't an issue and she's faced tougher in most of her North American starts after a half-dozen races in Ireland to begin her career. Working well and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Acenda) - The probable favorite, she finished second here going a mile on Oct. 11 in her first against winners after a good-looking maiden win at Del Mar on Aug. 16. Lightly raced, still improving, and she looks to have a bright future.
3rd pick: #1 (More Chocolate) - $310K daughter of "Malibu Moon" exits the same Oct. 11 contest as "Acenda" and she was only a length back of that rival while encountering some serious traffic issues. Working well, has the rail, and the added distance today is in her favor.
