Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (DO SOMETHIN) - She's one of two entered here who broke their maidens on this surface and this filly earned a very big "figure" when going wire-to-wire on October 14. Trainer Mike Puype skipped the Hollywood meet with her and daughter of "Purim" is working very quickly for this. Has the rail and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Maryjean) - Bet down to favoritism in her debut, daughter of "D'Wildcat" didn't disappoint her backers when she rated just off the pace, bid turning into the stretch, and drew off to defeat 11 rivals by almost 3 lengths. She has a near bullet 5-furlong work here six days ago, and draws a nice post at this trip.

3rd pick: #6 (Stormy Lucy) - Filly by "Stormy Atlantic" was far back of "Somethin" at Santa Anita Oct. 14, but has picked-up her game since. She broke her maiden at 22-1 racing at Hollywood five weeks later, then finished an even fourth at this level in her first facing winners. Can factor today.
