Top pick: #5 (HARLOT'S MYSTERY) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly rallied to finish second here at this level on Nov. 2 in her second off a 9 week break and first on the grass since late April. Daughter of "Harlington" gets the call in a "wide open" contest.
2nd pick: #2 (Liar Liar Liar) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she broke her maiden on this course on Nov. 10 in her first in three months and first off a trainer change to Bob Diodoro. Strong finisher is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (La Pomme d'Amour) (4-1) - Filly by "Flower Alley" was only a 1/2 length back of "Harlot" last out in what was only her second ever on the grass. 3=year-old must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Reclusive) (8-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Toccet" takes a big step up in class and will be racing on the grass for the first time. Bred for the lawn, she gets blinkers on, and is working fast.
