Top pick: #2 (MARKET PRINCESS) - She rallied to finish second going a mile at Belmont on Oct. 16. Race was only her second and first on the grass. Home-bred has had six weeks to recover, and trainer Bill Mott has worked her four times during that period. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Race Palace) - Excellent debut saw her rally despite racing wide to finish second here at 53-1 on Nov. 9, racing at this level and distance. Trainer Bruce Brown brings this daughter of "Corinthian" back quickly and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Hanalei) - Speedy sort finished third when debuting on the grass Oct. 16 at Belmont and was less than a length back of "Princess". She tired badly last out in an "off the turf" contest here nine days ago and her speed makes her dangerous in this spot.
