Top pick: #5 (SERIOUS STUFF) (4-1) - She was a winner here on the main track at the previous allowance condition and speed/stalker is moved back to the turf by trainer Dan McFarland. 3yo has gone (4-1-1-1) on the grass and has a bullet half-mile breeze on Dec 7th to prepare for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Triveni) (2-1) - The probable heavy favorite, frenc-bred has excellent early speed and when last in action finished a pace-setting 5th of 8, beaten two lengths in a $65K stakes on the Golden gate grass Oct 20. She has the rail and is a major player, though at a short price.
3rd pick: #2 (Collating Lady) (5-2) - Consisyent filly has never won on the turf, but it's not for lack of trying as she's (8-0-3-3) on it. One run type runs first off an Angel Silva claim ( a 23% winning angle)and is a serious threat down the stretch.
