Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (UNKNOWN HEAT) - Mare raced very poorly last out, and her connections have given her a two month break since that poor outing. Working nicely for her return, she's run well on this course in the past, and Pat Valenzuela is back aboard and her best race came the only other time he rode this mare.

2nd pick: #7 (Bitt A Heat) - Lightly raced filly finished a strong third in a turf sprint at Hollywood Dec. 16, and her trainer will stretch her out in distance for this attempt. Four-year-old has a sharp work here Dec. 31 and its good to see Garret Gomez take the re-ride.

3rd pick: #6 (Bila Shaka) - Well bet in her debut, she showed a hint of speed before finishing last of five runners. Trainer Marty Jones will send her to the turf and stretch her out in distance for this attempt. Bejarano takes the re-ride and think this filly will run better this afternoon.
