Top pick: #6 (BUBBA'S MY NAME) (8-5) - She's been sharp in both starts, finishing 2nd when debuting at Fresno on Oct 12th, then chased and finished 3rd here facing winners on Nov 10th. Cal-bred worked fast since, moves back in with maidens, annd will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Mame's Flame) (5-2) - Dangerous foe pressed and weakened to finish 3rd here at this level and distance Nov 18 in her first locat appearance and first of any kind in almost three months. Strong factor from a very good trainer (Dan McFarland).
3rd pick: #7 (Little Bit cactus) (9-2) - Filly debuted in the same Nov 18th race as "Mama" and was competitive despite being "bumped" and forced to "steady". Normal 2nd out improvement can make her a threat.
