Top pick: #4 (MATCHING SKIES) (3-1) - Veteran mare moves up in class after a very easy win here for a $16K claiming price on Feb. 12th. It was her first following a Rudy Rodriguez claim and a two month break. She's won at this level in the past and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Seven Dreams) (7-2) - She was a smashing winner here over weaker going two-turns on Jan. 19th. Much improved since being claimed by Michelle Nevin, she cuts her back to a sprint this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (Seven Stars) (5-1) - Consistent mare is lightly raced and is shortening up in distance. 5yo missed by a 'neck' here at this level going two-turns here on Dec. 7th. She won a sprint in her previous race and draws the rail.
4th pick: #2 (Colonel Juanita) (6-1) - Filly runs for the first time in two months, and off a re-claim by Danny Gargan. Daughter of 'Colonel John' likes this trip (6-2-3-0), and stalker comes off a fine season in 2014 (10-3-2-2).
