Top pick: #4 (CLEARLY CONFUSED) (4-1) - Veteran is moving from "poly" to dirt, and it's clear that she's enjoys it best. Strong finisher has a great local record (10-5-3-0), and she was winner here on April 3 in her only previous start at this 7-furlong trip. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (My Sweet Addiction) (4-1) - Consistent speed/stalker just failed at this level at Los Alamitos on Sept. 20. It was her first since June 15, and this lightly raced daughter of "Tiznow" has worked fast since and draws a fine outside post. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Sudden Sunday) (6-1) - She's never won on real dirt, but last out at Los Alamitos, she missed by a "neck" at this level and was a 1/2 better than "My Sweet Addiction." Working fast since, and the added distance is a plus.
4th pick: #6 (Wasted At Midnight) (6-1) - Daughter of "Midnight Lute" likes it locally (5-1-2-1) and has been freshened up since winning two of three starts during the summer. Filly has a flexible style and can impact at a square price.
