Top pick: #2 (LOGICAL SINGLE) - Mare had a fine "prep" for this when she pressed a fast pace and tired in a stakes for Cal-breds on the Del Mar turf August 19th. Race was her first since May 24th and only her second since July 21st of 2011. Veteran is the speed nearest the rail and she came back with a sharp work at Del mar a week ago before heading here.
2nd pick: #4 (Going for a Spin) - One of a pair entered by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and the pair race uncoupled. Filly finished an even fourth as the favorite in a grass stakes at Santa Rosa July 29th and in her first back off a 65 day fresheining. Speed/stalker has the perennial leading at this meet (Marty Pedroza) aboard and she's a win candidate.
