Top pick: #4 (TRUE JOANIE TRUE) (5-2) - One of a pair entered by the "red hot" barn of Rudy Rodriguez and the two fillies race uncoupled. Claimed in late Nov for $25K, she set a pressured pace and tired to finish 3rd here on Jan 20th in her first off the claim. Barn has worked her twice since and a bullet 3 furlong btreeze Feb 4 indicates she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Youngwildandfree) (6-1) - Price play was sent hard from the rail in the same race as "Joanie" and tired to finish only a length back of that rival. The move off the inside should lead to a less stressful trip.
3rd pick: #5 (Southside Sis) (3-1) - She benefitted from the pace duel in the same last race as the top two selections and rallied past them late for the place spot.
4th pick: #1 (Guyana Star) (15-1) - Longshot has the rail and had little chance in her latest when whe broke poorly. It's apprentice Coa off and Lezcano on and this price play can factor with a "clean' getaway.
