Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (R DOUBLEDAY) - Speedy filly has been sharp in all three appearances and is training fast for her first start since a near miss at Del Mar on Aug. 3. running for a $30K tag. Drops slightly for this and she can give trainer Mike Pender his first win at this meet.

2nd pick: #10 (Ya Wanna Hug) - Daughter of "Bertrando" tired last out racing for twice this tag, and trainer Rick Mandella will drop her to a new low in her third back off a seven month layoff. Very dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (Raisin' Cain) - She showed a bit of early speed before tiring when debuting here on Oct. 8 racing for twice this tag. Trainer Craig Lewis adds blinkers and brings her back on a quick turnaround.

4th pick: #11 (Shimmering Star) - She's finished second in her last pair at Fairplex and grey filly will be trying a longer distance in this spot. May hang on for a small share.
