In this last race of the series, AA Rich Whiskey (TH Richie x Salsa Dancer CS) has a good chance at winning the seven horse field, having taken the win in the first two legs of the series in Pleasanton and at Golden Gate. The five year old filly may have a concern from the three year old colt, RB Hashtag (Nashwan Al Khalidiah x Hesster), also with a win at Pleasanton in July. AA Pockit Rockit (Majd Al Arab x Richley Kept), third at the Pleasanton Wathba Stallions Cup, won in Ferndale in August. Dreamm (No Risk Al Maury x Dream Pearl) is another filly to watch with five runs and three on the board 5(0-2-1). Other entries are Naughty GreyLinda, Sweet-Wan, AA Padawan, all working for their maiden break.
