Top pick: #1 (MAJESTIC MARIA) - Lightly raced grey daughter of "Maria's Mon" has a nice race over the track when she finished second here at this level going a "flat" mile a month ago. Four-year-old has a bullet drill at Calder on Dec. 20 and has the rail in this two-turn contest. Filly has an excellent shot at "knocking off" the presumed heavy favorite (No. 7 Jump Up).
2nd pick: #7 (Jump Up) - She's a perfest 2-for-2 and last out won an entry-level allowance race going a one-turn mile at Churchill by 5 lengths. Training very fast at Palm Meadows and we'll find out a lot more about her today as she tries going two-turns for the first time. Win candidate, but at a very short price.
