Top pick: #6 (JOGGET) (7-2) - She showed excellent early speed last out while racing between horses and tired late. The O'Neill barn drops her to a new low and has her making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (Kahala) (3-1) - She had a "troubled" start when debuting on Nov. 23 at Hollywood and raced evenly while wide once in stride. Working well since, drops down in price, and she breaks just off the inside.
3rd pick: #4 (Tim's Go Girl) (4-1) - One of five making their debuts, filly has some sharp works showing and is from a good first out barn (Adam Kitchingman) 19%.
4th pick: #10 (Warrens Puppy Love) (7-2) - Another making her debut, Warren home-bred is in a capable barn (Craig Lewis) and grey filly had a bullet 3-furlong breeze here six days ago.
5th pick: #8 (Fashionably Rich) (8-1) - She has some early speed and last out checked in 5th of 12, beaten 3 1/2 lengths racing at this level on Dec. 21 at Hollywood. May grab a minor award as this field drew tough.
