Top pick: #5 (COCONINO) (3-1) - Mare has a great record on this course (16-5-4-5) and all of those starts have come facing tougher. She's been on the sidelines since June after a trio of even efforts at Canterbury and can take this if ready.

2nd pick: #4 (She's a Hit) (9-2) - No-speed type is 14-4-1-2 locally and has been vacationing since early may when she won here at this tag. Working steadily and a stretch threat if ready off the 5 1/2 month layoff.

3rd pick: #1 (Green Meadows) (9-2) - She has the rail, early speed, and has done well here in the past 8-3-2-0. Mare ships from Canterbury and has a recency advantage on the top two picks.

4th pick: #3 (Warrensmysterydice) (10-1) - Longshot goes dirt to turf and stretches out in distance after an even effort on the local dirt going 6-furlongs on Oct. 8. Can factor at a big price.

5th pick: #7 (Cash Queen Anna) (8-1) - Mare ships back from Northlands Park where she went 6-2-0-2, racing on the dirt. Speed/stalker has gone 15-1-5-1 on the turf in the past and it's interesting that Scott Stevens takes the mount.
