Top pick: #1 (CANDY TROPHY) - She's 2-for-3 on the grass and has been freshened-up since winning a $40K claimer at this distance on the Del Mar turf Aug. 25. Home-bred is working fast and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Cavaletta) - Since coming back from a 2 1/2 month break at this time last year,this filly has gone (7-0-4-1) and the field's only maiden has finished has finished second in both starts on this course. Price play.
3rd pick: #7 (Mia Isabel) - Strong finisher was just over three back of "Candy" in late August at Del Mar and is working fine for her return. No-speed type will need some pace help in order to have any shot at knocking off the top pick.
4th pick: #6 (Love Tale) - English-bred filly was overmatched here in a stakes just two weeks ago in what was her first since coming here from her native country in July. Fits with these and Bejarano is aloft.
