Top pick: #6 (EASTERN PRIME) - Freshened-up since a second-place finish as the favorite Jan. 11. That effort came against $25K foes and she'll drop down to $15K this afternoon. The pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Taxadame) - She set a tepid pace last out facing $12,500 foes, and held down the place spot. Final time was very slow, but her ability to be involved early is a plus. Player.
3rd pick: #9 (Asscher Cut) - Flying Zee home-bred by Catienus has shown good speed against better, and is working well for her first start since Dec.3. Win threat.
