Top pick: #3 (TOUCH TONE LILLY) - Louisiana shipper is working very fast on the local surface for her first start since shipping here in late Aug. In a very good barn (Justin Evans) and filly has showed excellent early speed in the past. New barn is very good off of layoffs and she can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #5 (Baby Kalei) - Recent winner on this surface did so at this tag and trip on Sept. 25. Well-bred, in a good barn, and speedy daughter of "Cuvee" is a threat right back to take another.
3rd pick: #1 (Smart City Doc) - Ships here from Monmouth and winds-up in an excellent local barn (Greg Green). Filly has speed/stalking ability and this appears to be the right price and distance. Races for the first time in 75 days but her new trainer is very good off of layoffs.
