Top pick: #1 (STAR MAGNOLIA) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly has some early speed and will be racing off a positive trainer change following a claim on Jan. 19. Now with Michelle Nevin (29% off the claim), she's worked her three times since, has her "go to" jockey Juan Ortiz aboard, and daughter of "Flower Alley" breaks from the rail.
2nd pick: #6 (Golden Annie) (9-5) - The probable favorite, she rallied to finish second in the same Jan. 19 contest as "Magnolia" and nailed that filly by a "neck" in the last two strides to get the place award. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Princessa de Papi) (5-1) - She took a bit of action when debuting here for a $50K tag on Jan. 19. In a top barn (Rudy Rodriguez) and he adds blinkers while dropping her way down in class.
4th pick: #2 (Heartfelt Jazz) (8-1) - Stalker has been competitive in all three starts and has a bullet three-furlong work a week ago. Daughter of "Grand Slam" can be a factor at a square price.
