Top pick: #1 (AMANI) - Price play was a champ in her native Chile and all of her races there came on real dirt where she won 10 of 11 outings. She raced evenly last out facing males in the (G1) Pacific Classic and moves back in with her own sex this afternoon. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Switch) - Mare is (5-2-1-2) on this surface and is training fast fro her first start since August 4th. Quality veteran has a flexible style and should be racing close-up today in a race with not a lot of speed on paper.

3rd pick: #4 (Joyful Victory) - Grey filly ships west after banking almost $600K while going (11-4-2-2) on real dirt. Speed/stalker is in the fine barn of Larry jones and this daughter of "Tapit" should be involved every step.

4th pick: #7 (Love and Pride) - The main speed, she's another coming west for the first time and last out she was an upset winner of the G1 Personal Ensign at saratoga when she defeated last year's Filly & Mare champ "Royal Delta" by a 1/2 length. Must be left in the mix.
