Top pick: #2 (NICKELS WILD) (4-1) - Daughter of "Sky Mesa" has been competitive in all five starts following her debut, and she missed by a neck last out at Santa Anita at this level. Filly has enough early speed to stay withing range, and can run them down turning for home.
2nd pick: #1 (Serene Melody) (7-2) - The probable favorite, she's been freshened up since a near miss at Del Mar on Sept. 4th in her first ever on the grass. Home-bred by "Street Cry" is working steadily, draws the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Sensationalize) (6-1) - Filly runs for the first time since late July, and will do so off a trainer change to Melody Conlon. Daughter of "Street Sense" has been competitive in two of three on the grass, and can factor at a square price with her best.
4th pick: #8 (Shrilanka) (7-2) - She enters off a fine third place finish at Santa Anita on Oct. 18th. Race was her first since Sept. 2nd of 2012, and this well-bred Miss is a threat with any improvement whatsoever.
