Top pick: #5 (APPEALING LADY) (5-2) - She rallied mildly to finish 3rd here at this trip facing tougher on Oct 9th. It was her first since Aug 21st, first on conventional dirt, and first around two turns. The Sadler barn drops her down, adds blinkers, and brings her back in 15-days.. Filly gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (All Star Bub) (6-1) - Bejarano jumps off "Appealing Lady" to ride this speed/stalker for the first time. She's dropping in class, going turf to dirt, and stretching out in distance. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Golds Venice) (2-1) - Speedy filly by "Colonel John" drops in class and has blinkers removed in her first around two-turns. Trainer Pete Miller has her working fast and is dropping her into a claimer for the first time.

4th pick: #2 (Ritzy Tags) (4-1) - Bred/owned/and trained by Bob Baffert, grey filly by "Zenstaional" has raced evenly in a trio of sprints facing special weights. Barn drops her down and stretches her out. The sprint to route move is a strong one by Baffert (28%)and it's noted that this filly has taken serious money in her last pair.
