Top pick: #11 (LORENBRAY) - Claimed by Mike Mitchell in early August at Del Mar for $20K, this grey filly has been on the sidelines since. Working steadily at Hollywood Park for her rerurn and there are several positives in her corner. Mitchell wins at a 33% clip first off a claim, he adds blinkers (20%), and she draw a nice outside post.
2nd pick: #5 (Dani's Sis) - Filly by "Skip Away" has run well in both her starts and has been freshened up by trainer Mike Puype for the past two months. When last in action, she was away slowly and did well to finish third of 10, beaten almost 5 lengths racing at this price on Jan. 6. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Game Charmer) - Clearly better racing on real dirt, filly is (6-0-2-2) on this surface and has run second in her last pair, with her Jan. 16 placing coming at this distance. Contends again in this spot.
4th pick: #4 (Swiss Charmer.) - Daughter of "Swiss Yodeler" has a lot of changes as she runs off a three month vacation. Trainer Eoin Harty drops her to a new low in price, switches her from turf to dirt, and shortens her up in distance. Working fine for this and is in the mix.
