Top pick: #8 (GENIALITY) - Filly rallied to finish fourth here last out at this price going 6.5 furlongs and had a tough outside post and a very wide trip that afternoon. Trainer John Sadler will stretch her out to 8.5 furlongs today and it's nice to see Rosario back on the re-ride. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Plazarita) - Home-bred by "Formal Gold" chased and tired at this price sprinting at Santa Anita Oct. 28. Race came off a three month vacation and today she'll try going two turns and make back-to-back starts, both for the first time. Can factor at a nice price.
3rd pick: #4 (Somenchanted Evenin) - Improving sort has finished second in two of her last three starts and has already proven that she can handle a two-turn distance. Stalker is in the mix against these.
4th pick: #9 (Jm's Golden Legacy) - Longshot has some fine early speed and will be trying a two-turn trip for the first time. Thinks she'll be competitive at a big price.
