Top pick: #4 (FORCED TO WIN) (5-1) - Price play showed a bit of life last out in his fisrt back from a six month layoff and trainer Manny Ortiz brings him back in nine days for this attempt.
2nd pick: #7 (Easter Harmony) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she's finished an even fourth in two straight here and had legitimate excuses in both. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Hana) (4-1) - Freshened up since Aug. 18, she's been competitive on this surface in the past and has a pair of solid works on view for her return.
4th pick: #2 (Chino Valley) (5-1) - Lightly raced, she runs third off a 5 1/2 month layoff and will be going turf to dirt. She has a very sharp 6-furlong work on Oct. 26 that suggests she's ready for a big effort.
