Top pick: #4 (WILD AND GOTAWAY) - Filly had a good educational debut on the Fairplex dirt facing tougher and will drop into a claimer and switch over to a synthetic surface. Barn (Jerry Hollendorfer) wins at a 25% rate second out and this juvenile has a big local gate drill on Oct. 8. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Lucky Trippi) - She showed excellent early speed when debuting in a special weight race here 11 days ago and will drop into a claimer, have her blinkers removed, and gets the services of Pat Valenzuela. Lots of things to like.
3rd pick: #3 (Forty Paces) - She's been competitive in all three of her starts and races second back of a 7 week break and has a fast local drill on Oct. 8. Exotics factor.
