Top pick: #1 (PRAYER BE MINE) (2-1) - She proved a prompt winning favorite when debuting on Oct. 26 at Santa Anita. Bet down that day tp 9-10, she stalked early, bid turning for home, and drew clear late.
2nd pick: #7 (Accommodation) (9-5) - She also won her debut and did so with a strong stretch run to collar the favorite ("Global Hottie") and draw away late. That runner returned to win impressively next out and this daughter of "Unusual Heat" has been working fast since. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Meinertzhageni) (12-1) - Filly raced evenly in a mile stakes on the Santa Anita dirt on Nov. 1 in her first since Sept. 14. Her two best to date have come in sprints on "poly," and she could grab a a share at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Harlington's Rose) (8-1) - The field's most experienced runner, she cuts back in distance and goes dirt to "poly" this afternoon. She's one of three entered who broke her maiden here and she could get a small slice at long odds.
5th pick: #4 (Rovenna) (8-1) - Lightly-raced filly chased and weakemed in a stakes last out at Santa Anita and this improving "Dizney" home-bred could get into the tri and/or super with some improvement.
