Top pick: #3 (MYPERFECTVALENTINE) (5-2) - She's the main speed of a poor field and will get some weight off with apprentice Rice aboard. Filly ran well last out from an outside post, draws better, and drops to a new low.
2nd pick: #6 (High Inflation) (7-2) - Professional maiden has gone 6-0-3-3 since mid-August, and won't meet a weaker bunch in New York through rest of the winter. Strong win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (Tassinaia) (8-1) - Longshot was away slowly last out and was never involved. She draws the rail, drops to a new low, and gets a big rider up-grade to Juan Ortiz. Price play.
4th pick: #9 (Lil Tiffy) (3-1) - She's finished second in both starts since coming from Kentucky and switching barns. However, she benefited from an inside post two back, and last out was allowed to set slow fractions while on the lead going a mile. Lightly raced filly moves back to a sprint, and draws the outside slot. Can factor, but will be over-bet.
