Top pick: #1 (SUS ANNMARIES GOLD) (7-2) - Lightly-raced filly began her career with a pair of impressive victories and is just now returning to her best form following a pair of long layoffs. Strong finisher moves up in price after a win here going a mile on the main-track on Nov. 10 and can make it two in a row this afternoon.
2nd pick: #7 (Kaitlyns Cat) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she comes off a career best when filly missed by a "nose" going 6.5-furlongs here on Nov. 20. Daughter of "Discreet Cat" has won at this trip in the past, is an obvious win candidate, and I came close to making her the top choice.
3rd pick: #3 (Lily Lynn) (3-1) - Veteran has more wins (5) than any other entered and is the only filly with a previous score on this inner-surface. Stalker runs off a seven week break and fits nicely with her best.
4th pick: #4 (Bozique) (9-2) - Consistent grey filly goes turf-to-dirt and all three career victories have come on the main-track. Enters in shape, has a flexible style, and must be left in the mix.
