Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (EGG DROP) (3-1) - Very consistent grey filly has gone 10-4-2-2 overall, and is 3-2-1-0 since switching to the turf. Daughter of grass specialist "Alphabet Soup" won the (G2) "Yellow Ribbon" hdcp. at Del Mar Sept. 2nd, and has been freshened up for the past two months. Working fast, and speed/stalker takes this if ready.

2nd pick: #3 (A Time to Love) (12-1) - Daughter of top sire "Kitten's Joy" stretches out and moves up in class after a near miss here in a "down the hill" allowance Oct. 4th. Consistent, and she's won at this distance in the past.

3rd pick: #2 (Customer Base) (6-1) - She was only 2 1/2 back of "Egg Drop" on Sept. 2nd at Del Mar, then was a 1/2 length back of "Pippa" in her latest. Strong finisher would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.

4th pick: #1 (More Chocolate) (4-1) - About equal on dirt and turf, she's been working fast locally and will be racing on the grass for the first time in 11 months.

5th pick: #7 (Miss Pippa) (6-1) - She's a grass specialist (11-3-4-1), and rallied to win a restricted stakes here at this distance on Oct. 5th. Strong finisher must be left under consideration.
