Top pick: #4 (BOBBY ZAPPER) (2-1) - Thought she was ridden a bit poorly on Nov. 10 in her first start in 3 1/2 months and first since coming to the barn of Rudy Rodriguez from Del Mar. She may have needed that race anyway and has since come back with a pair of fast works. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Glorious View) (3-1) - Filly has some speed and draws the rail for this attempt. Last out she finished an even fourth on Nov. 19 and had a poor break that cost her any chance. A fast morning move 10 days ago suggests that she'll be much sharper this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Stellabymoonlight) (8-1) - Un-raced since late August at Saratoga, trainer Dale Romans has her working fast and moves her back to the dirt following a trio of grass sprints. Can factor at a square price if ready.
