Top pick: #2 (SALLY'S DREAM) (3-1) - Veteran moves up in class after defeating weaker here at this distance on Dec. 18th. Very consistent mare has won 10 times overall and is 10-2-1-3 on this surface, and her speed/stalking style fits the race.
2nd pick: #1 (Lunar Surge) (2-1) - Lightly raced grey filly by "Malibu Moon" broke her maiden here just five days ago, and it was by far a career best. In shape, has the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Belle Gallantey) (5-1) - Mare races first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 25% winning angle), and she runs third back off a layoff, and is stretching out in distance.
4th pick: #3 (Kara's Match Point) (6-1) - Another that's been lightly raced, $200K daughter of "Curlin" runs second off a short layoff and is trying a two-turn distance for the first time.
