Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (PEACHES N' BRANDY) (3-1) - She rallied following a troubled break to finish third when debuting at Del Mar at this tag-7 trip Nov. 27. Filly has worked four time since and trainer Pete Miller (22% second time out) switches her to the dirt.

2nd pick: #7 (Ritzy Rags) (9-2) - Bred/owned/and trained by Bob Baffert, he's freshened her up since Oct. 23. Barn drops her down in class, adds blinkers (35%), and shortens her back up to a sprint.

3rd pick: #1 (Froggy Fresh) (2-1) - She's finished second in two straight at this tag. The first was on the Del Mar "poly" Nov. 13 and one month later she did so on the Los Alamitos dirt. Stalker has the rail and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #2 (She Got away) (3-1) - Home bred showed some early speed in her first pair at Los Alamitos facing Calif. bred Special Weights. Trainer Steve Miyadi drops her into a claimer for the first time and daughter of "Kafwain" should factor on the class reduction.
