Top pick: #3 (SPARKLING STYLE) - Speedy filly finished a close up fourth on Oct. 13 in the $100K Cal Cup Distaff Turf Sprint in what was only her second since June 21st. Trainer Bob Baffert moves her back to the local all weather surface this afternoon and filly is (5-3-1-0) on it. 4-year-old is working fast for this small stakes and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since the late spring. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Cayanna) - Very consistent (16-3-7-3) is racing back into shape following a nine month layoff and last out she edged "Style" a nose going "down the hill" cross town Oct. 13. All her wins have come on the grass, but 4-year-old has been competitive a number of times on synthetic surfaces.
3rd pick: #6 (Going for a Spin) - The field's strongest finisher, filly likes this surface (8-2-2-1) and enters this in form. Stakes winner would benefit the most from a fast/and or contested pace.
