Top pick: #4 (SYNCHRONICITY) - Nicebly-bred filly cost $170,000 at auction - a hefty sum for a New York-bred. Daughter of "More Than Ready" debuted on a "good" turf course on Oct. 9, and chased the pace until tiring a bit late to finish third to a runaway winner. Has a solid drill since and moves to the dirt. Win contender.
2nd pick: #5 (Freedom Trail) - Another expensive purchase ($175,000). Daughter of "Friends Lake" debuts for a dangerous barn (Rick Violette) with their youngsters. Works are excellent and she has the look of a player at first asking.
3rd pick: #6 (Sassification) - Interesting entrant, has been trained up to her debut by trainer Mike Jablow at Calder. Works show that filly has speed and the pattern suggests that she won't be short in her first outing.
