Top pick: #9 (FRANNIE'SSPIRITTOO) (7-2) - Filly comes off a pair of sharp efforts at Fairplex, the latest a near miss at this tag and trip as a heavy favorite on Sept. 22. She's worked twice locally since then and gets a slight edge in a very competitive holiday finale.

2nd pick: #12 (Glad's Gals) - Lightly raced, she's been freshened up by veteran Art Sherman since a trio of competitive efforts at Del Mar racing at this price tag. Working steadily, she's a win candidate if she takes to the real dirt.

3rd pick: #6 (Winninginfashion) (4-1) - Daughter of "In Excess" raced evenly when debuting at Del Mar on Aug. 28 and was claimed that day by Pete Miller for $20,000. Barn brings her back seven weeks later at the purchase price and Miller wins at a 20% clip first off the claim.

4th pick: #3 (Roust Em Bertie) (9-2) - Home-bred by "Bertrando" continues to race evenly and runs today for the first time since May 31st. Her works are steady and the Puype barn drops her to a new low while moving her from turf to dirt.

5th pick: #14 (Speedy Vixen) (10-1) - Mare has been a maiden a long time, but has finished second in two of three on this surface and draws a nice outside post at this 7 furlong trip.
