Top pick: #8 (LUCKY NANCY E) (9-2) - Home-bred filly by the speedy "Disco Rico" has early speed and trainer Jim Ryerson will drop her into a claimer and race her on the dirt, both for the first time. A recent fast work adds to the positives.
2nd pick: #5 (Margaret Ownzit) (3-1) - She runs first off a Gary Contessa claim and he raises her up from the $20K purchase price to run for $35K. She finished second here at this trip last out and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Hangingwithsonny) (20-1) - Longshot races first off a Dave Prine claim and filly has some early speed. Can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Lady Luciano) (5-1) - Daughter of "Frost Giant" raced evenly when debuting here facing tougher on Nov. 1. She's worked since, drops, and has the rail.
5th pick: #6 (She's a Sizzler) (5-1) - Schwartz home-bred goes turf to dirt, drops, and should be a factor after facing tougher in her first three appearances.
