Top pick: #5 (TEDDY'S PROMISE) (2-1) - Speedster tired badly here in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) on Nov. 3 and has been given ample time to recover by trainer Ron Ellis. Soon to be 5-year-old is working sharply and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Going For a Spin) (6-1) - Veteran always gives her best and is just as capable on real dirt as she is on turf and "poly". Strong finisher is (2-1-0-1) at this tricky trip and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Pink Lollipops) (5-2) - Lightly raced speed/stalker hails from the Baffert barn and all three career wins have come on this surface. Working fast, has the rail, and last May she was only a length back of "Teddy" in a stakes on the Hollywood all weather.
