Top pick: #8 (UNUSUAL HOTTIE) - Filly by "Unusual Heat" makes her debut off of a steady work tab. Her trainer (John Sadler) wins at a solid 22% rate first time out and his main rider (Joel Rosario) is aboard. The pair win at a 26% clip when teamed-up and this Cal-bred faces a weak field today.
2nd pick: #5 (Peppy Bolly) - Daughter of "Old Topper" has finished second in her last pair and has done so allowing poor starts. Barn brings her back in 18 days for this after she ran second at this level at Santa Anita Oct. 30.
3rd pick: #2 (Warren's Goldie) - Wide in her debut, she raced close-up before callin it a day. Grey filly has a fine work heading into this and can factor at a nice price.
