Top pick: #9 (RUN A DUBB DUBB) (3-1) - She's one of two fillies entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. This daughter of "Harlington" was claimed last out for $50,000 and is moved up in class and stretched out in distance. She rallied from off the pace to just miss in her debut, then tired after setting a pressured pace the day she was claimed. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Love Scat) (8-1) - She chased while racing wide and tired to finish fourth here at this level going 6 furlongs Jan. 19. Trainer Greg Sacco brings her back quickly, stretches her out, and Junior Alvarado takes over the riding assignment.
3rd pick: #2 (La Bella Chabella) (3-1) - She has a bit of speed, draws the rail, and has been competitive in all three starts since coming here from Philly Park in late November. She should be involved from start to finish.
4th pick: #1a (Chloe Bear) (5-2) - Daughter of "Macho Uno" is part of a Pat Kelly trained entry and they have separate riders listed. Improving, lightly raced, and a stretch threat.
5th pick: #5 (City Gone Wild) (8-1) - The second of the Rice pair, she raced greenly while rallying to finish fourth here on Jan. 6 when facing weaker in a 6-furlong sprint. She took some money that day and will be stretching out for her second appearance.
