Top pick: #8 (DRIVEN BY SEATTLE) (3-1) - Veteran mare has a good year going 10-2-3-0, and was a winner here at this tag and trip on Dec. 3. Her form has improved since a Diodoro claim at Northlands Park in mid-August. Stalker can take another.
2nd pick: #1 (Gamblin Miss) (5-2) - Golden Gate shipper has gone 4-2-2-0 when on conventional dirt and this speed/stalker comes here in shape and draws the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Katie's Song) (8-1) - Mare runs third back off a 2 1/2 month vacation and last out rallied to finish fourth, only a bit more than a length back of "Seattle." Can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Golden Emblazon) (9-2) - Consistent sort split "Seattle" and "Emblazon" last out and that ran her 2013 record to 11-3-1-4. Fits, is in career best form, and must be left in the mix.
