Top pick: #6 (RED HOOK) (5-2) - Home-bred daughter of "Hook and Ladder" was bet down to favoritism in both starts last summer when facing tougher and showed high early speed in each before weakening late. On the sidelines since Sept. 23, she's training fine for the Schettino barn and he drops her into a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Hidalgo Legacy) (7-2) - Another by "Hook and Ladder" she was beaten a nose here at this tag and trip Jan. 19 in her first start off a Juan Guerrero claim. She has a flexible style, draws outside of the speed, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Physical Delivery) (10-1) - Claimed two back by Charlton Baker for $25K filly rallied while wide to finish second at the purchase price on Jan. 6 in her first for the new barn. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
4th pick: #2 (Watch Your Biz) (10-1) - She's the speed nearest the rail and will be dropping back down after being freshened up since Nov. 2. Low-percantage barn guarantees a nice price.
