Top pick: #2 (D'PRINCESS) (2-1) - Consistent speedster was a winner here at this level and distance on the main-track on Nov. 13 and that was her fifth win at this trip. In shape, has a flexible style, and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Expression) (8-5) - Filly has won four times on this surface and the rest of the field has none. Strong finisher raced evenly on a "muddy" surface at this level Dec. 6 and has worked fast since. She would benefit the most by a fast and/or contested pace.
3rd pick: #4 (Trail Walker) (4-1) - Speed/stalker races first off a Mitch Friedman claim (17%) and has had a solid year on the dirt 10-3-0-6. Only two back of "D'Princess" on Nov. 13 and she can be a factor at a square price.
