Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (ALPHA KITTEN) - Lightly raced and improving quickly at this stage, she gives away some "racing savvy" to most of the others. Tries a distance for the first time, but she has exhibited a lot of talent in her pair of sprints, her maiden win when she was away slowly, and a strong second-place finish last out in the G2 "Anoakia". Working well and she's the choice for the win.

2nd pick: #2 (Laragh) - Filly was only beaten a length in the "Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf" at Santa Anita. Has a lot of speed and although her best races have been on the grass, she won at Del mar on August 9, in an impressive performance. She'll need to be extra sharp off her busy fall campaign.

3rd pick: #5 (Dave's Revenge) - Has absolutely no early speed and although she finished fourth in the "Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies", the pace collapsed turning for home and many runners made up considerable ground. In this small field her task is a difficult one.
