Top pick: #1 (WORLDLY CHARM) (9-5) - He's finished third in both starts and has had difficult outside posts in each. $280K daughter of "Malibu Moon" has early speed, moves to the rail, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Recoupe) (6-1) - Filly by "Indian Charlie" debuted here on Nov. 20 in the same race as "Worldly" and was 6 1/2 back of that rival at the finish. On the sidelines since, she has a new trainer (Mike Trombetta) and he has this home-bred working well at Fair Hill.
3rd pick: #2 (Image of Anna) (5-1) - She chased while wide and weakened during the stretch run when debuting here on Dec. 31. Filly has a bullet half-mile breeze on Jan. 27 and should be much more competitive today.
4th pick: #6 (Latin Tudor) (6-1) - Home-bred is one of two entered by the Pletcher barn and the pair race uncoupled. Filly has raced evenly of late and ran third here at this level in a slowly run contest on Jan. 16. However, she must be left in the mix.
