(# 3) ISLAND HOP - Last, her first race in almost two months, produced filly's best race ever. Made up a lot of ground late to finish a close fourth. Has been in with some good horses along the way, and the nine-furlong distance should suit her just fine in a second off the bench situation. Nice drill on Oct. 30 for this.

(# 5) Foreign - Blinkers go on this daughter of "Point Given" for trainer Neil Drysdale. Has been off four months after breaking slowly that day. Also broke late in career debut last Dec. Extra real estate is a plus, but holds no real advantage.

(# 6) Powerofvoodo - Start No. 16 today, and filly may need cheaper to get that first win. Still is a contender and the distance is no problem for her.

(# 8) Silver Moomshine - Probable pacesetter, switches coasts and trainers. Now with Carla Gaines, this daughter of "Silver Deputy" has some serious speed, which this field lacks.
