Top pick: #7 (FIONA FREUD) - Accustomed to facing tougher on the grass this state-bred has a pair of dirt wins in her past and trainer Bruce Levine drops her down to $10K today. The only other time she ran at this price she won at Santa Anita last February. The top pick, she's one of two entered by Levine and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #4 (Exiled Princess) - Rare Linda Rice claim was taken on Oct.30th at Belmont for $7500. Runs back with a sloght rise in price and this filly has plenty of back class. Rice names Dominguez and this filly will be very tough in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Chicks Are Better) - The 2nd of the Levine pair has good early sped and takes a drop into a career soft spot. Working nicely at Monmouth for her first start in 3 1/2 months and is a win candidate.
