Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (CARIBAYA QUEEN) - Very speedy filly has been freshened up since late June when she finished a pace-setting second to today's rival "Jet Blue Girl" racing at this level at Hollywood Park. Working fast for this, she can take this from on, or just off the lead.

2nd pick: #10 (Morocco Moon) - Talented English-bred daughter of "Rock of Gibraltar" went (4-2-1-1)in her native country and did so facing males in all of her starts. In a good grass barn (Neil Drysdale), she's working steadily, fits, and will race with lasix for the first time.

3rd pick: #6 (Graser) - Irish-bred filly missed by a neck in a one mile grass stakes at Del Mar on Aug. 17, then did the same on the "poly" there on Sept. 2. In shape, lightly raced, and a factor if she handles this "tricky" trip "down the hill."

4th pick: #11 (Jet Blue Girl) - Hard-hitting mare has run well on this surface in the past and earlier this year split a pair of decisions with "Queen". One-run type was re-claimed by Pete Eurton in late July and that's always a positive element. Stretch threat.
