Top pick: #8 (ATTACK MODE) (9-2) - Grey filly was a very impressive maiden winner here on Nov. 11th in her best since coming off a 5 1/2 month layoff in early October. Cal-bred is fresh, fast, and has room for upside.
2nd pick: #10 (Mazzy) (6-1) - Well-bred 3yo ran second here at this level and trip on Nov. 12th in best overall since late May. She broke her maiden at Santa Anita in January, and is a win threat at a nice price.
3rd pick: #9 (Capalatte) (4-1) - Golden Gate invader has a new trainer (Angel Silva), and she'll be racing on real dirt for the first time since July 7. Her record on it is 9-0-2-2, and mare can factor from off the pace.
4th pick: #6 (Zena's a Warrior) (7-2) - She's finished second here in two straight at this level, and her latest was a career best effort. Stalker is a threat with a repeat of it.
5th pick: #11 (A Case of Gold Luck) (12-1) - Longshot improved slightly last out, and is racing third off a two month break. An outside post means she needs to avoid a wide trip for anything more than a small award.
