Top pick: #1 (KUNE KUNE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker ships from Californis where she was very sharp in a pair of appearances after returning from a year's layoff in early Nov. Runs today off a two month freshening, and is working well locally for her new trainer (Joan Scott).
2nd pick: #3 (Magical Cat) (4-1) - Irish-bred mare is lightly raced, has won from both on and off the pace, and is stringing starts together following several layoffs. Win threat.
3rd pick: #6 (I Like It) (8-1) - She's in career best form at present and since early Sept. she's gone (4-2-2-0). Home-bred has a stalking style and is drawn outside of the speed. "live" price play.
4th pick: #7 (Crying Lightening) (10-1) - Well-bred Irish import was a better animal before coming to No. America and has raced evenly in the majority of her six starts in the U.S. Freshened up since Oct. 20, a good turf barn (Jimmy Toner) may have her reday for a big race.
