Top pick: #3 (ZOE B) (7-2) - Cal.-bred was an easy gate-to-wire winner here at this tag Oct. 16 in his first ever on this surface. Trainer Jeff Metz brings her back quickly and I like her chances.
2nd pick: #2 (Roemantic View) (5-2) - Lightly raced filly is a perfect 2-for-2 on this surface and was a prompt winner as a heavy favorite on Oct. 7. By far a career best and she's the major danger.
3rd pick: #4 (Samurai Jess) (2-1) - She races first off a claim and hasn't seen action since Aug. 2. Owner/trainer Ed Sepich Jr claimed her for $8000 and brings her back racing for $3500. Major factor with her best, but there are some "red flags" present.
