Top pick: #6 (OUR STORM) - She's run well in all four of her starts at this tag, including the last pair at this distance. Closer should receive a solid pace to rally into if all that are entered run. In shape and the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #1 (Zanda Blue) - Part of a strong entry from trainer Tom Bell. Filly finished an even fourth last out at this tag in her first race in almost 2 1/2 months. Draws well and any move forward could win this.
3rd pick: #1a (Desert Siren) - The "other" half of the Bell entry drops and will be stretching out off a sprint try on Oct. 3, when she showed good speed. Fast work since indicates that she's a wire-to-wire threat.
