Top pick: #2 (CHARM THE MAKER) - In a patient barn (Ron McAnally) and he kept her local to score in the $100K Sharp Cat Stakes on this surface Nov. 13 after avoiding the temptation to send her to Churchill for the Breeders' Cup. Working very fast for this and believe that tis home-bred by Empire Maker has a bright future.
2nd pick: #6 (Self Preservation) - Price play has been beaten by "Frankie" in three straigh starts but rallied to finish fourth last out at Churchill in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile fillies (G1). Working fast since returning here and her best start since coming from Ireland in early summer was on the Del Mar "poly" Sept. 3.
3rd pick: #1 (Weemissfrankie) - Obvious contender and may be favored today. Her undeftaed streak (3 starst) came to an end when she finished a solid third after a very wide trip in the Juvenile Fillies at Chuchill. Has the rail, is working well since returning, and is a stretch threat at a short price.
