Top pick: #1 (RED COGNAC) - Sharp maiden score on October 30th for this $300,000 daughter of "Hennessy". Filly battled for the lead facing outside pressure and drew away once clear. Draws the rail, which she also had last time. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #2 (Akilina) - Filly has been freshened-up for the past two months after having a busy 4 race campaign during the summer months. She has good tactical speed and has proven competitive in all of her starts.
3rd pick: #6 (High Cry) - At first look she would appear to be a toss, but daughter of "Street Cry*" has ability and is working well for trainer Todd Pletcher. Can impact this at a big price.
