Top pick: #6 (AWESOME REWARD) - The probable favorite, she's lightly raced and improving. Mare finished a pace-chasing second here at this price going 7 furlongs on Oct. 8 and trainer Phil Aristone brings her back in eight days and cuts her back in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Wicked Lady) - Filly spent the first part of her career facing tougher in Florida and finished third here racing for $15K in her local debut on August 26th. Race was her first in 80 days and last out she regressed a bit but may have "bounced" a bit. Factors today.
3rd pick: #2 (Congressionalbust) - This is start No. 16 and this filly has only hit the exacta one time. She breaks near the rail and should be close up throughout. Needs to step it up to threaten the top two picks.
