Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PRETTY N COOL) (3-1) - One of three entered by trainer Bob Baffert, she's the most talented of the trio at this stage. Speed/stalker has won three of six, including the G2 Matron Stakes at Belmont Oct 18. In shape, she's one of two who has a win at sprinting on the dirt beyond six furlongs.

2nd pick: #4 (Treasuring) (5-1) - Another of the Baffert trio, she has talent and just missed Nov 15 at Del Mar in a $100K stakes going seven furlongs. She tired last out in the Starlet (G1) at Los Alamitos, but was involved until the final 1/16th. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Decked Out) (6-1) - She's working fast for her first since Sept 12. Following a maiden win here when debuting May 7, she's been ambitiously place in four stakes since then. In with some top company in most of those, she can factor today with her best.

4th pick: #8 (Forever Darling) (7-2) - Un-raced since a non-threatening effort in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), she training above average and is cutting back in distance. She has a nice outside post and Bejarano stays put.
