Top pick: #1 (ELLEN DOREEN) (8-5) - Lightly-raced filly showed good early speed last out when facing slightly better, and trainer Rudy Rodriguez has worked her three times since. Drops slightly, has the rail, and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Estrange) (8-1) - She was sent hard at the break last out and tired after being involved in a speed duel. She moves to the outside post and could allow her a much less stressful trip. Price play.
3rd pick: #8 (High Inflation) (5-2) - Long time maiden has a fine record on the dirt at 13-0-4-4 and has gone 2-0-1-1 on this surface in the past. One-run type fits and has been competitive against better fields than this.
4th pick: #7 (Locks of Gold) (4-1) - Freshened up since late October, filly has very good form on the grass and the "figures" earned put her in the thick of this if repeatable on the dirt.
