Top pick: #1 (PLATINUM RULES) (3-1) - Veteran has shown noticeable improvement since moving to the barn of Angel Silva in mid-August. She's gone 4-1-2-0 since then and speed/stalker is nicely spotted and draws the rail.
2nd pick: #3 (Sailaway Lady) (8-1) - Daughter of "Flashy Bull" comes off a career best when she was an easy wire-to-wire winner racing here for a $3500 tag on Oct. 7. Win came off a 4 1/2 month break and first for trainer Dan McFarland.
3rd pick: #4 (Backwoods Belle) (7-2) - Hard hitter always come to run and has an outstsnding overall record (24-8-2-3). She ships from Fairplex in shape and will be making her Turf Paradise debut.
4th pick: #2 (Chocolate Caliente) (10-1) - Cheaper sort pressed and held to run second here for a $12.5K tag on Oct. 6. Grey mare should get a fast/and or contested pace to rally into and will be a square price.
