Top pick: #4 (PULPITINA) - Showed a lot of promise last season at two, but did not transfer it when she came back earlier this season. She's been freshened up for the past two months and is working sharply for her return.
2nd pick: #3 (Itobe) - Excellent maiden win on this surface Sept. 7. Tracked a fast pace, took over when asked and drew clear without any problems. Fast work since says she's feeling fine.
3rd pick: #2 (Holistic) - Big maiden win in January at Oaklawn in her first start of '08. Connections threw her right into a stakes and she tired badly after pressing the pace. Very capable trainer (Dan Peitz) brings her back off some sharp works.
