Top pick: #2 (LEMON DE ORO) (7-2) - Filly stretches out a furlong after rallying to finish second here at this level on Oct. 5th. A career best overall, she's worked fast since and retains Bejarano.
2nd pick: #1 (Global Hottie) (2-1) - Lightly raced filly has won two in a row for trainer Bob Baffert. Pegram owned daughter of "Dixie Chatter" has the rail, is an obvious win candidate, and is the probable favorite.
3rd pick: #11 (Miss Super Quick) (5-1) - Freshened up since early Sept., she finished a close up third that day in a sprint stakes at Los Alamitos. Stalker has most of the speed to her inside and is a threat from just off the pace.
4th pick: #13 (Tappinintherain) (20-1) - Longshot is racing back into shape following a long layoff, is moving from turf to dirt, and has blinkers added. Working fast, and a factor at a big price.
5th pick: #9 (Always a Chance) (20-1) - Not a strong win candidate, but experienced mare likes it here (4-2-0-1) and is racing second back from a two month break. Stretch factor.
