Top pick: #1 (SAGE D'ORO) - Price play was away a bit slowly in her debut and raced evenly once in stride. Daughter of "Medaglia d'Oro" has been given almost seven weeks to recover and is working fast locally for this stretch-out attempt. Has the rail, "P. Val" is back aboard, and this filly can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #7 (Milania) - The probable favorite has finished second in all three starts and is another that will be racing around two-turns for the first time. Obvious contender, but no "sure thing" at small odds.
3rd pick: #4 (Belle Gallantry) - She was stakes-placed at Hastings Park before coming to So. California and finished second racing for $30K at Santa Anita Oct. 23. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill, he moves her up in class and stretches her out in distance.
