Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ENAMORED) (4-1) - This expensive ($475,000) daughter of 'Curlin' finished second when debuting in a dirt sprint Sept. 30 at Santa Anita. She's been given two months to grow and mature, is working well, and trainer Rick Mandella (18% second time out) switches her to the grass while stretching her out in distance (20%).

2nd pick: #3 (Queen Ryker) (8-1) - Irish import was competitive in both starts in her native land and she faced males in each. She received betting support in that pair and runs today with Lasix administered and off a god 5-furlong work Nov. 25 at Santa Anita.

3rd pick: #5 (She's All Woman) (12-1) - $150K purchase showed good speed before tiring late at this level and distance Oct. 20 at Santa Anita. It was her grass debut, a positive effort, and think she'll be competitive at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Opus Won) (10-1) - Longshot ran well despite a troubled start and having traffic issues turning for home Nov. 3. She moves from the 11-post to the rail, gets a big rider upgrade to Florent Geroux, and is dangerous at a square price.
