Top pick: #4 (GOLDEN PRODUCTION) (3-1) - Lightly raced and improving filly has won two in a row and was a good-looking winner here at this distance in an entry-level allowance Nov. 16. That was her first off a Pete Miller claim, and she's worked twice since.
2nd pick: #1 (Blues and Silvers) (3-1) - Hard-hitting filly has more grass wins (9) than the rest of the field combined (7). Speed/stalker, has a great year going 11-7-1-2, has the rail, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Winding Way) (2-1) - Spendthrift home-bred makes her local debut after finishing second last out at Santa Anita in a G3 stakes going "down the hill." She's back in shape following a pair of layoffs, and is in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #2 (Llandudno) (6-1) - One-run type finished almost three back of "Silvers" last out and has worked fast twice since. The faster the pace, the better her prospects.
