Top pick: #8 (CAYANNA) - Much improved since coming back from a nine-month layoff in July, she'll be cutting-back in distance following a pair of second-place finishes at Del Mar racing for $40K. She's had five weeks since her last race, continues to train well, and can win this from close range.
2nd pick: #1 (Bodie Girl) - Lightly-raced and improving, trainer Mike Puype has had this filly freshening-up since an impressive maiden win at Del Mar on August 17. Working well since and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (La Sombre) - Another who broke her maiden at Del Mar and she did so on August 12, going 6.5 furlongs on the main track. Working very fast for this and this filly by "Unusual Heat" must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Thisonesforyou) - She rallied to finish third at this level at Del Mar Sept. 4 in her first off a year's layoff. Never off the board (6-2-3-1), in the Mitchell barn, and she's working fast for this.
