Top pick: #6 (IRENES JACKPOT) - Filly raced evenly while wide when debuting here Dec. 31 and will drop down in price and is brought back quickly by a winning barn for today's attempt. Nice to see jockey Victor Espinoza take the re-ride. The top pick.

2nd pick: #8 (Officerwasisspeedin ) - Filly improved last out to finish second on this surface in a small field and is brought back in 15 days for this attempt. Home-bred runs with blinkers on in this spot. Contender.

3rd pick: #2 (Good Acktress) - Has a touch of speed and her best race ever came this past fall at Fairplex when she finished second on conventional dirt. Cuts back in distance for this and tries this surface for the first time. Can contend, but the top pair are better win candidates.
