Top pick: #9 (BUBBLES TO THE TOP) - Logical selection and the probable favorite will stretch-out in distance this evening after just failing to get the job done last out in a 5 furlong sprint. Stakes placed last year as a maiden, her best effort came at this trip in late Oct in her seasonal finale. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Aone Saucy Miss) - Longshot ran evenly in her seasonal bow in a sprint just 12 days ago and this filly is brought back quickly and stretched-out in distance. Can grab a share at big odds.
3rd pick: #1 (Tabanka) - She had some speed last year and finished 3rd facing "open" maidens racing for $20K at this distance Nov 19 and is training fast for her seasonal bow. The inside post is a plus.
4th pick: #2 (Nigon's Princess) - She was competitive in a pair at this level last fall but closed out her season by tiring in a stakes race on Nov 10. In a good barn (Ian Black) and filly is training above average for her return.
