Top pick: #8 (MAGNIFICA) - Grey daughter of "Mizzen Mast" has been in steady training dating back to late August. Initially prepared at Belmont by trainer Bill Mott, she's been in Florida since late October and looks all set for her debut. A full sister to the stakes winning "Jibboom", this Juddmonte Farm home-bred may only have one serious challenger.
2nd pick: #1 (One Hot Hand) - The main danger, this filly by "Macho Uno" finished second when debuting at Delaware Park on Nov, 2 and has a trio of local works since comong south. In the barn of Jonathan Sheppard and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Our Unbridled Gem) - She tired when debuting 5 weeks ago at Hawthorne and also was away a bit "slowly" that afternoon. Well-bred filly has a pair of nice local works since shipping here and it would be no surprise if she ran much better today.
