Top pick: #2 (BEAR'S PEARL) - She's been sharp in three of her four appearances and in her lone "out of the money" finish she ran fourth in a $150K stakes. Speed/stalker has the best last race "figure" and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Tambopata) - She was bet in her debut here on Sept. 1 and rewarded her backers with a come-from-behind win while paying $6.90. High-percentage barn (Terry Jordan) has worked her since and brings her back quickly for this attempt.
3rd pick: #4 (Sixty Four Model) - Another who had a successful debut when she raced close-up, bid, and drove clear to pay $7.60 on July 20th. Daughter of "Corinthian" tired on August 18th facing slightly tougher in her first facing winners and is a thteat on the front-end.
